DSM. Information about device extensions is accessed from the STRM Log Management Administration Console. You can also create device extension reports that can be sent to Juniper Networks Customer Support. This capability is a mechanism for reporting parsing issues and potential fixes to Juniper Networks Customer Support, so that they can be evaluated for inclusion in future DSM updates.
Creating a Device Before defining a device extension within STRM Log Management, you must build Extension the extension document. The extension document is an XML document that you Document create or edit using any common word processing application. Multiple extension documents can be created, uploaded, and associated to various device types.
Adding a Device Extension The Device Extensions window provides the following details for each device extension: Table 2-1 Device Extension Parameters Parameter Description Extension Name Specifies the name of the device extension. Description Specifies a description for this device extension. Enabled Specifies whether or not the device extension is enabled.

Enter values for the parameters: Step 4 Table 2-2 Add Device Extension Parameters Parameter Description Name Specify a name for the device extension. The name can be a maximum of 255 alphanumeric characters plus the underscore (_). Description Specify a description for the device extension. The description can be a maximum of 255 characters.
Editing a Device Extension Click Save. Step 7 The new device extension is created. The Event Collector automatically detects changes and will pick up a new or revised device extension. By default new device extensions are enabled. If you want to disable the device extension, see Enabling/Disabling a Device Extension.
