Scenario
Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :
set system description DESC1 set system login user admin authentication encrypted-password '$6$GSjsCj8gHLv$/VcqU6FLi6CT2Oxn0MJQ2C2tqnRDrYKNF8HIYWJp68nvXvPdFccDsT04.WtigUONbKYrgKg8d6rEs8PjljMkH0'
Step 2: Run command system journal show | tail -n 20 at DUT0 and expect this output:

Step 5: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :
set system syslog file CLI filter def app OSDxCLI set system syslog file CLI filter def level info
Step 6: Login as admin user on DUT0.
Step 7: Modify the following configuration lines in DUT0 :
set system description DESC2
Step 8: Run command file show running://log/user/CLI/CLI at DUT0 and expect this output:
