Description

It would be nice to have a simple command to show the up/down status of an interface, afaik you have to go do sudo dmesg -T | grep <interface> to see it.

It could be something as simple as show interface ethernet eth0 messages or show interface ethernet eth0 log

user@router:~$ show interfaces ethernet eth0 log
[Tue Aug  6 23:29:24 2024] igb 0000:02:00.2 eth2: igb: eth2 NIC Link is Down
[Tue Aug  6 23:29:32 2024] igb 0000:02:00.2 eth2: igb: eth2 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX

Showing all logs for interface might print more information than it's needed. Maybe a different approach:

show interfaces ethernet eth0 log link-status

Or since it's about printing logs, similar command under show log, although currently there is no node for show log interfaces.

I can implement it but we need to agree about the command

@n.fort I like the interface log sub command, gives us a nice way to take on additional logging things later, but for now log link-status seems good to me.
