Disabling System Logs

To disable logging of the messages from a facility, use the facility none configuration statement. This statement is useful when, for example, you want to log messages of the same severity level from all but a few facilities. Instead of including a configuration statement for each facility you want to log, you can configure the any level statement and then a facility none statement for each facility you do not want to log. For configuration details, see the information about disabling logging in the JUNOS System Basics Configuration Guide.
