1.  Introduction

   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 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.

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.  NDMA Compliance

   The YANG model in this document conforms to the Network Management
   Datastore Architecture defined in I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores
   [I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores].

1.4.  Editorial Note (To be removed by RFC Editor)

   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:

   o  "I-D.ietf-netconf-keystore" --> the assigned RFC value for draft-
      ietf-netconf-keystore

   o  "I-D.ietf-netconf-tls-client-server" --> the assigned RFC value
      for draft-ietf-netconf-tls-client-server

   o  "zzzz" --> the assigned RFC value for this draft

   o  I-D.ietf-netmod-revised-datastores --> the assigned RFC value for
      draft-ietf-netmod-revised-datastores

2.  Design of the Syslog Model

   The syslog model was designed by comparing various syslog features
   implemented by various vendors' in different implementations.

Internet-Draft             Syslog Management                  March 2018


   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.

     | 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 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 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).

2.1.  Syslog Module

   A simplified graphical representation of the data model is used in
   this document.  Please see [I-D.ietf-netmod-yang-tree-diagrams] for
   tree diagram notation.

4.  Usage Examples

      Requirement:
      Enable console logging of syslogs of severity critical

      <syslog xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog">
        <actions>
          <console>
            <facility-filter>
              <facility-list>
                <facility>all</facility>
                <severity>critical</severity>
              </facility-list>
            </facility-filter>
          </console>
        </actions>
      </syslog>

      Enable remote logging of syslogs to udp destination
      foo.example.com for facility auth, severity error

      <syslog xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:yang:ietf-syslog">
        <actions>
          <remote>
            <destination>
              <name>remote1</name>

6.  IANA Considerations

6.1.  The IETF XML Registry

   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.

6.2.  The YANG Module Names Registry

   This document registers one YANG module in the YANG Module Names
   registry [RFC7895].  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


7.  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 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:

      facility-filter/pattern-match: When writing this node,
         implementations MUST ensure that the regular expression pattern
         match is not constructed to cause a regular expression denial
         of service attack due to a pattern that causes the regular
         expression implementation to work very slowly (exponentially
         related to input size).

      remote/destination/signing/cert-signer: When writing this subtree,
         implementations MUST NOT specify a private key that is used for
         any other purpose.

   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:

      remote/destination/transport: This subtree contains information
         about other hosts in the network, and the TLS transport
         certificate properties if TLS is selected as the transport
         protocol.

      remote/destination/signing: This subtree contains information
         about the syslog message signing properties including signing
         certificate information.

   There are no RPC operations defined in this YANG module.

Appendix A.  Implementer Guidelines

Appendix 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):

Appendix A.2.  Syslog Terminal Output

   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.

Appendix A.3.  Syslog File Naming Convention

   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 compresses 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 last 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.
