Archiving System Logs

By default, the JUNOS logging utility stops writing messages to a log file when the
file reaches 128 KB in size. It closes the file and adds a numerical suffix, then opens
and directs messages to a new file with the original name. By default, the logging
utility creates up to 10 files before it begins overwriting the contents of the oldest
file. The logging utility by default also limits the users who can read log files to the
root user and users who have the JUNOS maintenance permission.
To enable all users to read log files, include the

about archiving log files in the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.

of the same severity level from all but a few facilities. Instead of including a
configuration statement for each facility you want to log, you can configure
