SYSLOG YANG Model
draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model-08
This document describes a data model for the Syslog protocol which is used to convey event notification messages.
This Internet-Draft is submitted in full conformance with the provisions of BCP 78 and BCP 79.
Internet-Drafts are working documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Note that other groups may also distribute working documents as Internet-Drafts. The list of current Internet-Drafts is at http://datatracker.ietf.org/drafts/current/.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six months and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use Internet-Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as "work in progress."

Operating systems, processes and applications generate messages indicating their own status or the occurrence of events. These messages are useful for managing and/or debugging the network and its services. The BSD Syslog protocol is a widely adopted protocol that is used for transmission and processing of the messages.
Since each process, application and operating system was written somewhat independently, there is little uniformity to the content of Syslog messages. For this reason, no assumption is made upon the formatting or contents of the messages. The protocol is simply designed to transport these event messages. No acknowledgement of the receipt is made.
Essentially, a Syslog process receives messages (from the kernel, processes, applications or other Syslog processes) and processes those. The processing involves logging to a local file, displaying on console, user terminal, 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.
We are using definitions of Syslog protocol from [RFC5424] in this RFC.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119].
This document defines a YANG [RFC6020] configuration data model that may be used to monitor and control one or more syslog processes running on a system. YANG models can be used with network management agents such as NETCONF [RFC6241] to install, manipulate, and delete the configuration of network devices.
This module 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 layer [RFC5424].
The syslog model was designed by comparing various syslog features implemented by various vendors' in different implementations.
This draft addresses the common leafs between implementations and creates a common model, which can be augmented with proprietary features, if necessary. The base model is designed to be very simple for maximum flexibility.
Syslog consists of message originators, and message distributors. The following digram shows syslog messages flowing from a message originator, to message distributors where suppression filtering can take place.
Many vendors extend the list of facilities available for logging in their implementation. An example is included in Extending Facilities [extending_facilities].
Message Originators
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| Various | | OS | | | | Remote |
| Components | | Kernel | | Line Cards | | Servers |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
| SNMP | | Interface | | Standby | | Syslog |
| Events | | Events | | Supervisor | | Itself |
+-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+

Message Distributors |
+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ |

+----------+ +----------+ +----------+ |

v v v
+----------------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
|Remote Relay(s)/| | | |User |
|Collectors(s) | |Terminal(s)| |Sessions(s)|
+----------------+ +-----------+ +-----------+
The leaves in the base syslog model log-input-transports container correspond to remote message originators or remote message relays.
The leaves in the base syslog model log-actions container correspond to each message distributor:
Optional features are used to specified functionality that is present in specific vendor configurations.
A simplified graphical representation of the complete data tree is presented here.
Each node is printed as:
<status> <flags> <name> <opts> <type> <if-features>
+ for current
x for deprecated
o for obsolete
<status> is one of:
rw for configuration data
ro for non-configuration data
-x for rpcs
-n for notifications
<flags> is one of:
(<name>) means that the node is a choice node
:(<name>) means that the node is a case node
<name> is the name of the node
If the node is augmented into the tree from another module, its name is printed as <prefix>:<name>.
? for an optional leaf or choice
! for a presence container
* for a leaf-list or list
[<keys>] for a list's keys
<opts> is one of:
<type> is the name of the type for leafs and leaf-lists
If the type is a leafref, the type is printed as "-> TARGET", where TARGET is either the leafref path, with prefixed removed if possible.
<if-features> is the list of features this node depends on, printed within curly brackets and a question mark "{...}?"

This document registers two URIs in the IETF XML registry [RFC3688].
Following the format in RFC 3688, the following registration is requested to be made:
URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog-types
Registrant Contact: The IESG.
XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.
This document registers a YANG module in the YANG Module Names registry [RFC6020].

prefix: ietf-syslog
reference: RFC XXXX
The YANG module defined in this memo is designed to be accessed via the NETCONF protocol [RFC6241]. The lowest NETCONF layer is the secure transport layer and the mandatory-to-implement secure transport is SSH [RFC6242]. The NETCONF access control model [RFC6536] provides the means to restrict access for particular NETCONF users to a pre-configured subset of all available NETCONF protocol operations and content.
There are a number of data nodes defined in the YANG module which are writable/creatable/deletable (i.e., config true, which is the default). These data nodes may be considered sensitive or vulnerable in some network environments. Write operations (e.g., <edit-config>) to these data nodes without proper protection can have a negative effect on network operations.

Many vendors extend the list of facilities available for logging in their implementation. Here is an example that shows how additional facilities could be added to the list of available facilities (in this case two facilities are added):
