Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Mobility Release 11.2W.

Description

Specify tracing options related to the storage of CDRs on the local RE disk.

Options

file filename—Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. The router appends the -ms#fic#pic term to the filename and places the file in the /var/log directory. For example, if you have configured the filename to be localstorage, then the actual log filename that you see in the router is, localstorage-ms#fic#pic (ms in the filename stands for the multi service card).

Range: 1 through 1024 bytes

files number—(Optional) Maximum number of trace files. When a trace file named trace-file reaches its maximum size, it is renamed trace-file.0, then trace-file.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then the oldest trace file is overwritten.

Range: 2 through 1000 files

Default: 3 files

flag flag—Specify which operations are to be traced. To specify more than one operation, include multiple flag statements.

Caution: You may want to enable traceoptions only when you want to debug specific charging operations. Enabling the traceoption flags might have an impact on the system performance.

all—Trace all operations.
connection—Trace the connection establishment between RE and all Service PICs for CDR file backup.
file-operations—Trace all file open, write, and close operations.
general—Trace general operations.
journaling—Trace journaling operations. Journaling creates a log for each file-write operation, which helps to sanitize the CDR data in temporary log files after a reboot.
mirror—Trace mirroring operations. Mirroring enables you to synchronize the CDR file information onto backup.

level—Level of tracing to perform. You can specify any of the following levels:

all—Match all levels.
critical—Match error conditions.
error—Match error conditions.
info—Match informational messages.
notice—Match conditions that must be handled specially.
verbose—Match verbose messages.
warning—Match warning messages.

match regex—(Optional) Refine the output to include lines that contain the regular expression (regex).

no-remote-trace—(Optional) Disable remote tracing.

no-world-readable—(Optional) Disable unrestricted file access.

size size—(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB) or megabytes (MB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches its maximum size, trace-file.0 is renamed trace-file.1 and trace-file is renamed trace-file.0. This renaming scheme continues until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then, the oldest trace file is overwritten. If you specify a maximum number of files, you must also specify a maximum file size with the size option.

Syntax: xk to specify KB, xm to specify MB, or xg to specify GB.

Range: 10,240 through 1,073,741,824 bytes

Default: 128 KB

world-readable—(Optional) Enable unrestricted file access.
