Configuring Traceoptions

The default operation of automation script trace files is to log important events in a file called op-script.log for op scripts and event-script.log (for event scripts) located in the /var/log directory. When the file op-script.log or event-script.log reaches 128 kilobytes (KB), it is renamed and saved with a number 0 through 9 in ascending order appended to the end of the file. For example: op-script.log.0, then op-script.log.1, until there are 10 trace files. Then the oldest trace file (op-script.log.9) is overwritten. (For more information about how log files are created, see the JUNOS System Log Messages Reference.)

You cannot change the directory (/var/log) in which trace files are located. However, you can customize the other trace file settings by including the following statements at the [edit system scripts op traceoptions] or [edit event-options event-script traceoptions] hierarchy level:

[edit system scripts op traceoptions]
[edit event-options event-script traceoptions]
file <filename> files number size size;
flag {
all;
events;
input;
offline;
output;
rpc;
xslt;
}

These statements are described in the following sections:
