traceoptions (System Monitor)

Syntax

Hierarchy Level

Description

Configure the system memory monitoring trace options on your PTX and MX Series routers. The memory monitoring system on your device monitors anomalies with respect to the memory utilization of Junos applications and overall system in the control plane of your device. Apart from monitoring the system memory, you can also configure the device to monitor the per-process memory footprint as well to help detect possible leaks and take configured action.

Options

file filename

Name of the file to receive the output of the tracing operation. Enclose the name within quotation marks. The files are available at the /var/log/jsysmon.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. Note that if you specify a maximum number of files, you also must specify a maximum file size with the size option.

  • Range: 2 through 1000 files

  • Default: 10 files

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 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. Note that if you specify a maximum file size, you also must specify a maximum number of trace files with the files option.

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

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