Log messages are not synchronized between primary and redundant SRP modules.
During a switchover from a primary to a redundant SRP module, existing log messages
are not transferred to the redundant SRP module.
System logs are supported on all E Series routers.
For information about the modules supported on E Series routers:
See the ERX Module Guide for modules supported on ERX7xx models, ERX14xx models,
and the Juniper Networks ERX310 Broadband Services Router.
See the E120 and E320 Module Guide for modules supported on the Juniper Networks
E120 and E320 Broadband Services Routers.
By default, event logging is enabled and has default settings. This section explains how
to change settings to customize event logging to fit your needs.

The next sections explain how to configure individual and systemwide logs, how to format
timestamps for log messages, and how to configure log filters.
Use to set a baseline for logging events. Only log messages timestamped after the
baseline appear when you enter the show log data delta command.
To use the current system time, do not enter any options.
To set a specific time, use the following syntax:
