traceoptions (PCE)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) tracing options.

Options

filename

Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. All files are placed in the directory /var/log.

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: 2 files.

    If you specify a maximum number of files, you must also include the size statement to specify the maximum file size.

flag

Area of path computation client process (pccd) to enable debugging output.

  • all—Trace all areas of PCD code.

  • pcep—Trace Path Computation Element Protocol (PCEP) operations.

no-remote-trace

(Optional) Disable remote tracing options.

no-world-readable

(Optional) Allow only certain users to read the log file.

size size

(Optional) Maximum size of each trace file, in kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB), or gigabytes (GB). When a trace file named trace-file reaches this size, it is renamed trace-file.0. When the trace-file again reaches this 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.

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

  • Range: 10 KB through the maximum file size supported on your system.

  • Default: 1 MB.

    If you specify a maximum file size, you must also include the files statement to specify the maximum number of files.

world-readable

(Optional) Allow any user to read the log file.
