Synopsis ¶

This module provides declarative management of logging on Juniper JUNOS devices.

Requirements ¶

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

ncclient (>=v0.5.2)

Parameters ¶

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
active bool		Choices: no yes ←	Specifies whether or not the configuration is active or deactivated
aggregate			List of logging definitions.
dest		Choices: console host file user	Destination of the logs.
facility			Set logging facility.
files			Number of files to be archived, this is applicable if value of dest is `file`. The acceptable value is in range from 1 to 1000.
level			Set logging severity levels.
name			If value of `dest` is file it indicates file-name, for user it indicates username and for host indicates the host name to be notified.
provider			Deprecated Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli` or `connection: netconf`. For more information please see the Junos OS Platform Options guide. A dict object containing connection details.
	username		Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME` will be used instead.
	host required		Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport.
	ssh_keyfile		Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE` will be used instead.
	timeout	Default: 10	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
	password		Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD` will be used instead.
	port	Default: 22	Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. The port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for `transport=cli`) or port 830 (for `transport=netconf`) device.
rotate_frequency			Rotate log frequency in minutes, this is applicable if value of dest is `file`. The acceptable value is in range of 1 to 59. This controls the frequency after which log file is rotated.
size			Size of the file in archive, this is applicable if value of dest is `file`. The acceptable value is in range from 65536 to 1073741824 bytes.
state		Choices: present ← absent	State of the logging configuration.

Notes ¶

Note

This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device being managed.
Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version 15.1X53-D60.4.
Recommended connection is netconf. See the Junos OS Platform Options.
This module also works with local connections for legacy playbooks.
For information on using CLI and netconf see the Junos OS Platform Options guide
