Minimum Configuration for Enabling and Viewing Traceoptions Output

If no automation script trace options are configured yet, the simplest way to view the trace output of an automation script is to configure the output trace flag and issue the show log op-script.log | last command. To do this, perform the following steps:

If you have not done so already, enable an automation script by including the file statement at the [edit system scripts op] hierarchy level:[edit system scripts op] file filename;
Enable trace options by including the traceoptions flag output statement at the [edit system scripts op] hierarchy level:[edit system scripts op] traceoptions flag output;
Issue the commit command:[edit] user@host# commit
Display the resulting trace messages recorded in the /var/log/op-script.log file. At the end of the log is the output generated by the automation script you enabled in Step item. To display the end of the log, issue the show log op-script.log | last operational mode command:[edit] user@host# run show log op-script.log | last

Table 19 summarizes useful filtering commands that display selected portions of the op-script.log file.

Example: Minimum Configuration for Enabling and Viewing Traceoptions Output

        op {
            file source-route;
            traceoptions flag output;
        }

}
