Information About Tracing
Tracing Overview
The tracing functionality logs internal events. Trace files are automatically created and saved to the tracelogs
subdirectory under crashinfo.
The contents of trace files are useful for the following purposes:
• Troubleshooting—If a switch has an issue, the trace file output may provide information that can be
used for locating and solving the issue.
• Debugging—The trace file outputs helps users get a more detailed view of system actions and operations.
To view the most recent trace information for a specific module, use the show platform software trace
message command.
To modify the trace level to increase or decrease the amount of trace message output, you can set a new trace
level using the set platform software trace command. Trace levels can be set for each process using the
all-modules keyword in the set platform software trace command, or per module within a process.
