When user-compiled scripts are running on a device, some information is recorded in the device's log.

opsObj.syslog(content, severity="informational", logtype="syslog")

Table 1 describes the parameters supported by APIs for recording logs.

**Table 1** Parameters supported by APIs for recording logs
Method	Description
opsObj	Specifies an OPS object. It is obtained through ops.ops() instantiation.
content	Specifies the log content. The maximum length of the character string is 512 bytes. If the length exceeds 512 bytes, the log fails to be recorded.
severity	Specifies a log level, which can be CRITICAL, ERROR, WARNING, or INFORMATIONAL (in descending order). The default level is INFORMATIONAL.
logtype	Specifies a log type, which can be syslog or diagnose. If syslog is specified, information is recorded in the syslog. After a syslog server is configured, the syslog is uploaded to the syslog server. If diagnose is specified, information is recorded in the diagnostic log on the device. The default value is syslog.

First return value: The value 0 indicates a success, and the value 1 indicates a failure.
Second return value: This value describes success or failure reasons, expressed in a character string.

import ops

opsObj = ops.ops()
