Tracing BGF Operations

You can trace the following BGF 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 file name, 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.

Step-by-Step Procedure

To configure tracing of BGF operations:

  1. Access the traceoptions file configuration.
    [edit]
    user@host# edit services pgcp traceoptions file
  2. Specify a name for the trace file.
    [edit services pgcp traceoptions file]
    user@host# set filename bgf1
  3. Set the maximum number of trace files. If you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size.
    [edit services pgcp traceoptions file]
    user@host# set files 10
  4. 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 all any user to read the log file.
    [edit services pgcp traceoptions file]
    user@host# set no-world-readable
  5. 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
  6. Specify the operations that you want to include in the log file. For example:
    [edit services pgcp traceoptions flag]
    user@host# set bgf-core firewall warning
    user@host# set bgf-core pic-broker warning
    user@host# set h248-stack control-association warning
    user@host# set sbc-utils memory-management debug
