Tracing Border Signaling Gateway Operations

You can trace the following BSG components and record trace results in a log file:

All log files are placed in the /var/log directory. When a trace file reaches its maximum size, a .0 is appended to the filename, then a new file is created with a .1 appended, and so on. When the maximum number of trace files is reached, the oldest trace file is overwritten.

Access the traceoptions configuration.


                  
                     [edit]
                     user@host# edit services border-signaling-gateway
                           gateway bsg1 traceoptions
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions]

Access the traceoptions trace file configuration.


                  
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions]
                     user@host# edit file
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions file]

Specify a name for the trace file.


                  
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions file]
                     user@host# set filename bsg1

Set the maximum number of trace files.


                  
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions file]
                     user@host# set files 10

Set user access to the trace log file. Use set no-world-readable to prevent users from accessing the log file, or use set world-reabable to allow any user to read the log file.


                  
                     [edit services pgcp traceoptions file]
                     user@host# set no-world-readable

Access the traceoptions flag configuration to define trace level options.


                  
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions file]
                     user@host# up
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions]
                     user@host# edit flag

Set trace level options for any other components for which you do not want the default level, error. For example:


                  
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
                     user@host# set datastore debug
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
                     user@host# set signaling policy warning
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
                     user@host# set SBC-utils memory-management
                           debug
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
                     user@host# set sip-stack event-tracing
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
                     user@host# set sip-stack pd-log-level audit
                     [edit services border-signaling-gateway traceoptions flag]
