Find and Configure the Log File
By default, the syslog local-file is ram. The log file name is "message" which is in the directory "/tmp/log"
admin@XorPlus$cd /tmp/log admin@XorPlus$ls lastlog lighttpd messages wtmp
You can use "tail -f /tmp/log/messages" to display the log messages.
You can set the syslog local-file location to disk. The log file name is "messages" which is in the directory of "/var/log"
admin@XorPlus# set system syslog local-file disk admin@XorPlus# commit Commit OK. Save done. admin@XorPlus# admin@XorPlus$cd /var/log/ admin@XorPlus$ls apt dmesg fsck last_death lastlog messages news ntpstats wtmp admin@XorPlus$
You can use "tail -f /var/log/messages" to show the log messages.

Find the Core Dump File
When the device crashes, it will create a core file which can be found in a directory called pica/core.
admin@R2:/pica/core$ pwd /pica/core
Find the last_death file for Troubleshooting
You can view the last_death file after the device crashes. It will record the last log message and is located in /var/log directory.
admin@R2:/pica/core$ cd /var/log/ admin@R2:/var/log$ ls btmp faillog fsck lastlog messages report_diag.log dmesg frr last_death lighttpd private wtmp
