You are troubleshooting an issue and want to monitor syslog in real time. Which operational command accomplishes this task?

To monitor syslog in real time, the specific operational command that accomplishes this task is one that allows you to view log messages as they are generated. The command that meets this requirement is designed to continuously display log messages on the terminal, providing an up-to-date view of system events as they happen.

In the context of Junos OS, the command that directly supports real-time monitoring of log messages is indeed intended for immediate observation without needing to sift through historical logs. This makes it particularly useful for troubleshooting, as it allows you to see events as they are logged, which can help identify issues promptly as they arise.

The other options either do not provide real-time monitoring or are focused on different aspects of log management, making them less suitable for the specific task of observing syslog messages in real time. They might serve purposes such as viewing past logs or showing the overall logging status, but they do not fulfill the need for live monitoring. Thus, the command that effectively supports this task is rightly identified.
