traceoptions (PCEF)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Specify tracing options for policy and charging enforcement functions (PCEF).

Options

file file-name

Use the specified name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation.

files number

(Optional) Use the specified 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

  • Default: 3 files

flag flag

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

Best Practice:

You might 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.

  • config—Trace configuration events.

  • debug—Trace debug internal events.

  • fsm—Trace finite state machine events.

  • general—Trace general events that do not fit in any specific traces.

  • high-availability—Trace high-availability events.

  • init—Trace initialization events.

  • tftmgr—Trace tftmgr events.

level

Use the specified level of tracing. You can specify any of the following levels:

  • all—Match all levels.

  • critical—Match critical 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.

no-remote-trace

(Optional) Disable remote tracing.

no-world-readable

(Optional) Disable unrestricted file access.

size size

(Optional) Use the specified 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

word-readable

(Optional) Enable unrestricted file access.

Required Privilege Level

trace and unified-edge—To view this statement in the configuration.

trace-control and unified-edge-control—To add this statement to the configuration.

Release Information

Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 17.1.
