Module / Plugin Details

juniper.device.junos_logging_global

Description

Configured "explicit_priority: true" under a host in junos_logging_global, but the explicit_priority is not being considered at all. It is being considered for files, however.

        config:
          hosts:
            - name: other-routing-engine
              any:
                level: error
              explicit_priority: true
              log_prefix: "{{ inventory_hostname | regex_replace('-re[01]$', '-backup-RE') }}"
        state: rendered

ansible-playbook playbooks/ansible-juniper-delete-add/syslog_config_delete_add/syslog_config_delete_add_cc.yml -CD --limit cc-ss1-dub3-j480-re0 -i inventory.yml --ask-vault-password -vvvv

Expected Behavior

Explicit_priority needs to be considered so it can configure or remove as necessary

Actual Behavior

Explicit_priority, whether true or false, does not matter.
