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

Apr 16 16:20:39.074972 osdx OSDxCLI[165502]: User 'admin' left the configuration menu.

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

Show 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:
