Interface Up/Down logging

[Luca]

Hey,

I'm new to JunOS and trying to see how i can see, or configure logs for intrface status changes.  I'd like the logs to just be local to the device at the moment (not sent to a syslog server or SNMP trap)

So whats the best way to do that type of logging to the console?

I would first set updown messages to go to a specific file on the box like this:

[edit system syslog]

file interface-logs {
    any any;
    match UpDown;
}

Then if you want to see them on the console, you could type "monitor start interface-logs" to start seeing the messages in that file as they occur on the console.  The command "monitor stop interface-logs" would turn off the console logging for that file.  I think that would take care of it.

I'd propose to use

match "<UpDown>"

This will strip off some unnecessary stuff.

Thanks guys.

After some mucking around i found matching on ifOperStatus gives the best resutls.
