This document defines a YANG [RFC7950] configuration data model that may be used to configure the syslog feature running on a system. YANG models can be used with network management protocols such as NETCONF [RFC6241] to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices.¶
The data model makes use of the YANG "feature" construct which allows implementations to support only those syslog features that lie within their capabilities.¶
This module can be used to configure the syslog application conceptual layers as implemented on the target system.¶
Essentially, a syslog process receives messages (from the kernel, processes, applications or other syslog processes) and processes them. The processing may involve logging to a local file, and/or displaying on console, and/or relaying to syslog processes on other machines. The processing is determined by the "facility" that originated the message and the "severity" assigned to the message by the facility.¶
Such definitions of syslog protocol are defined in [RFC5424] , and are used in this RFC.¶
The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342].¶
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.¶
The term "originator" is defined in [RFC5424] : an "originator" generates syslog content to be carried in a message.¶
The term "relay" is defined in [RFC5424] : a "relay" forwards messages, accepting messages from originators or other relays and sending them to collectors or other relays¶
The term "collectors" is defined in [RFC5424] : a "collector" gathers syslog content for further analysis.¶
The term "action" refers to the processing that takes place for each syslog message received.¶
The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management Datastore Architecture defined in [RFC8342] .¶
This document contains many placeholder values that need to be replaced with finalized values at the time of publication. This note summarizes all of the substitutions that are needed. No other RFC Editor instructions are specified elsewhere in this document.¶
Artwork in this document contains shorthand references to drafts in progress. Please apply the following replacements:¶
The syslog model was designed by comparing various syslog features implemented by various vendors' in different implementations.¶
This document addresses the common leafs between implementations and creates a common model, which can be augmented with proprietary features, if necessary. This model is designed to be very simple for maximum flexibility.¶
Some optional features are defined in this document to specify functionality that is present in specific vendor configurations.¶
Syslog consists of originators and collectors. The following diagram shows syslog messages flowing from originators, to collectors where filtering can take place.¶

¶
Figure 1. Syslog Processing Flow¶
Collectors are configured using the leaves in the syslog model "actions" container which correspond to each message collector:¶
Within each action, a selector is used to filter syslog messages. A selector consists of a list of one or more filters specified by facility-severity pairs, and, if supported via the select-match feature, an optional regular expression pattern match that is performed on the [RFC5424] field.¶
A syslog message is processed if:¶
There is an element of facility-list (F, S) where
the message facility matches F
and the message severity matches S
and/or the message text matches the regex pattern (if it
is present)
¶
The facility is one of a specific syslog-facility, or all facilities.¶
The severity is one of type syslog-severity, all severities, or none. None is a special case that can be used to disable a filter. When filtering severity, the default comparison is that messages of the specified severity and higher are selected to be logged. This is shown in the model as "default equals-or-higher". This behavior can be altered if the select-adv-compare feature is enabled to specify a compare operation and an action. Compare operations are: "equals" to select messages with this single severity, or "equals-or-higher" to select messages of the specified severity and higher. Actions are used to log the message, block the message, or stop the message from being logged.¶
Many vendors extend the list of facilities available for logging in their implementation. An example is included in Extending Facilities (Appendix A.1).¶
A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in this document. Please see [RFC8340] for tree diagram notation.¶

This document registers one URI in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688] . Following the format in [RFC3688] , the following registration is requested:¶
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog Registrant Contact: The IESG. XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.¶
This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC8525] . Following the format in [RFC7950] , the following registration is requested:¶
name: ietf-syslog namespace: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog prefix: ietf-syslog reference: RFC zzzz¶
The YANG module defined in this document is designed to be accessed via YANG based management protocols, such as NETCONF [RFC6241] and RESTCONF [RFC8040] . Both of these protocols have mandatory-to-implement secure transport layers (e.g., SSH, TLS) with mutual authentication.¶
The NETCONF access control model (NACM) [RFC8341] provides the means to restrict access for particular users to a pre-configured subset of all available protocol operations and content.¶
There are a number of data nodes defined in this YANG module that are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes should be considered sensitive or vulnerable in all network environments. Logging in particular is used to assess the state of systems and can be used to indicate a network compromise. If logging were to be disabled through malicious means, attacks may not be readily detectable. Therefore write operations (e.g., edit-config) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations and on network security.¶
In addition there are data nodes that require careful analysis and review. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:¶
Some of the readable data nodes in this YANG module may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. It is thus important to control read access (e.g., via get, get-config, or notification) to these data nodes. These are the subtrees and data nodes and their sensitivity/vulnerability:¶
There are no RPC operations defined in this YANG module.¶
Many vendors extend the list of facilities available for logging in their implementation. Additional facilities may not work with the syslog protocol as defined in [RFC5424] and hence such facilities apply for local syslog-like logging functionality.¶
The following is an example that shows how additional facilities could be added to the list of available facilities (in this example two facilities are added):¶
module example-vendor-syslog-types {
namespace "http://example.com/ns/vendor-syslog-types";
prefix vendor-syslogtypes;
import ietf-syslog {

Terminal output with requirements more complex than the console subtree currently provides, are expected to be supported via vendor extensions rather than handled via the file subtree.¶
The syslog/file/log-file/file-rotation container contains configuration parameters for syslog file rotation. This section describes how these fields might be used by an implementer to name syslog files in a rotation process. This information is offered as an informative guide only.¶
When an active syslog file with a name specified by log-file/name, reaches log-file/max-file-size and/or syslog events arrive after the period specified by log-file/rollover, the logging system can close the file, can compress it, and can name the archive file <log-file/ name>.0.gz. The logging system can then open a new active syslog file <log-file/name>.¶
When the new syslog file reaches either of the size limits referenced above, <log-file/name>.0.gz can be renamed <log-file/name>.1.gz and the new syslog file can be closed, compressed and renamed <log-file/ name>.0.gz. Each time that a new syslog file is closed, each of the prior syslog archive files named <log-file/name>.<n>.gz can be renamed to <log-file/name>.<n + 1>.gz.¶
Removal of archive log files could occur when either or both:¶
- log-file/number-of-files specified - the logging system can create up to log-file/number-of-files syslog archive files after which, the contents of the oldest archived file could be overwritten.¶
- log-file/retention specified - the logging system can remove those syslog archive files whose file expiration time (file creation time plus the specified log-file/retention time) is prior to the current time.¶
