Description

The output of the tracing operations is placed into log files in the /var/log directory. Each log file is named after the SNMP agent that generates it. Currently, the following logs are created in the /var/log directory when the traceoptions statement is used:

• chassisd
• craftd
• ilmid
• mib2d
• rmopd
• serviced
• snmpd

Options

files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files per SNMP subagent. When a trace file (for example, snmpd) reaches its maximum size, it is archived by being renamed to snmpd.0. The previous snmpd.1 is renamed to snmpd.2, and so on. The oldest archived file is deleted.

Range: 2 through 1000 files
Default: 10 files

flag flag—Tracing operation to perform. To specify more than one tracing operation, include multiple flag statements:

• all—Trace all SNMP events
• general—Trace general events
• interface-stats—Trace physical and logical interface statistics
• nonvolatile-sets—Trace nonvolatile SNMP set request handling
• pdu—Trace SNMP request and response packets
• protocol-timeouts—Trace SNMP response timeouts
• routing-socket—Trace routing socket calls
• subagent—Trace subagent restarts
• timer—Trace internal timer events
• varbind-error—Trace variable binding errors

size size—(Optional) Maximum size, in kilobytes (KB), of each trace file before it is closed and archived.

Range: 1 KB through the maximum file size supported on your system
Default: 1000 KB
