JNCIA-Junos: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Junos — Question 88

You are troubleshooting an issue and want to monitor syslog in real time.
Which operational command accomplishes this task?

Answer options

• A. show log messages
• B. monitor start messages
• C. monitor traffic interface fxp0.0
• D. show log messages | refresh 1

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as 'monitor start messages' is specifically designed to display syslog messages in real-time. Option A shows log messages but does not provide real-time monitoring, while Option C is unrelated to syslog and instead monitors traffic on a specified interface. Option D, although it refreshes the displayed log messages, does not offer real-time monitoring like option B does.
