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

Mar 23 07:32:26.085255 osdx OSDxCLI[47767]: User 'admin' left the configuration menu.

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

Show output

admin    ttyS0        2026-03-23 07:32

Step 4: Run command system journal show | tail -n 20 at DUT0 and expect this output:
