UNKNOWNΒΆ

This error tag is sent when napalm-logs was unable to identify the operating system. By default, these messages are not published; they need to be explicitly enabled using the send_unknown: False option for the publisher.

Note

These messages are not recommended for production use. They can be used as temporary helpers, at most. The right approach is writing a new device profile matching the syslog message and generating the structured messages as required. See Device Profiles.

Example:

{
  "message_details": {
    "message": "<28>Jul 10 10:32:00 vmx1 inetd[2397]: /usr/sbin/sshd[89736]: exited, status 255\n"
  },
  "timestamp": 1501685287,
  "ip": "127.0.0.1",
  "host": "unknown",
  "error": "UNKNOWN",
  "os": "unknown",
  "model_name": "unknown"
}
