Description

This scenario demonstrates how to show and store in a file the different actions that users perform on the CLI.

Scenario

Step 1: Set the following configuration in DUT0 :

Step 2: Run command system journal show | tail -n 20 at DUT0 and expect this output:

Show output

Jan 27 16:23:16.213390 osdx OSDxCLI[7173]: User 'admin' left the configuration menu.

Step 3: Run command system login show users at DUT0 and expect this output:
