Internet-Draft              Syslog Management             September 2017


1.  Introduction

   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 message.

   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
   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.

   We are using definitions of syslog protocol from [RFC5424] in this
   RFC.

1.1.  Requirements Language

   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 [RFC2119] and
   [RFC8174].

1.2.  Terminology

   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.

1.3.  Tree Diagrams

   A simplified graphical representation of the data models is used in
   this document.  The meaning of the symbols in these diagrams is as
   follows:

   o  Brackets "[" and "]" enclose list keys.


   o  Braces "{" and "}" enclose feature names, and indicate that the
      named feature must be present for the subtree to be present.


   o  Abbreviations before data node names: "rw" means configuration
      (read-write) and "ro" state data (read-only).


   o  Symbols after data node names: "?" means an optional node, "!"
      means a presence container, and "*" denotes a list and leaf-list.


   o  Parentheses enclose choice and case nodes, and case nodes are also
      marked with a colon (":").


   o  Ellipsis ("...") stands for contents of subtrees that are not
      shown.


2.  Problem Statement

   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.

3.  Design of the Syslog Model

   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.  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 an originator, to collectors where
   filtering can take place.

   Originators

                  |

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

   Collectors
     +----------+ +----------+ +----------------+
     |          | |  Log     | |Remote Relay(s)/|
     | Console  | |  File(s) | |Collector(s)    |
     +----------+ +----------+ +----------------+

   Figure 1.  Syslog Processing Flow

   Collectors are configured using the leaves in the syslog model
   "actions" container which correspond to each message collector:

      console

      log file(s)

      remote relay(s)/collector(s)

   Within each action, a selector is used to filter syslog messages.  A
   selector consists of a list of one or more facility-severity matches,
   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 or block 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).

7.  IANA Considerations

   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 NETCONF WG of the IETF.
      XML: N/A, the requested URI is an XML namespace.

7.1.  The YANG Module Names Registry

   This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
   registry [RFC7895]/>.  Following the format in [RFC7950]/>, the the
   following registration is requested:

      name:         ietf-syslog
      namespace:    urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog
      prefix:       ietf-syslog
      reference:    RFC zzzz


8.  Security Considerations

   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) [RFC6536] 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 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.

8.1.  Resource Constraints

   It is the responsibility of the network administrator to ensure that
   the configured message flow does not overwhelm system resources.

   Network administrators must take the time to estimate the appropriate
   storage capacity caused by the configuration of actions/file using
   file-archive attributes to limit storage used.

8.2.  Inappropriate Configuration

   It is the responsibility of the network administrator to ensure that
   the messages are actually going to the intended recipients.

Appendix A.  Implementor Guidelines

A.1.  Extending Facilities

   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 vendor-syslog-types-example {
     namespace "urn:vendor:params:xml:ns:yang:vendor-syslog-types";
     prefix vendor-syslogtypes;

     import ietf-syslog {
       prefix syslogtypes;
     }

     organization "Example, Inc.";
     contact
       "Example, Inc.
        Customer Service

        E-mail: syslog-yang@example.com";

     description
       "This module contains a collection of vendor-specific YANG type
        definitions for SYSLOG.";

     revision 2017-08-11 {
       description
         "Version 1.0";
       reference
         "Vendor SYSLOG Types: SYSLOG YANG Model";
     }

     identity vendor_specific_type_1 {
       base syslogtypes:syslog-facility;
     }

     identity vendor_specific_type_2 {
       base syslogtypes:syslog-facility;
     }
   }
