Introduction to Conditional Debugging
The Conditional Debugging feature allows you to selectively enable debugging and logging for specific
features based on the set of conditions you define. This feature is useful in systems where a large number of
features are supported.
Only Control Plane Tracing is supported.
Note
The Conditional debug allows granular debugging in a network that is operating at a large scale with a large
number of features. It allows you to observe detailed debugs for granular instances within the system. This
is very useful when we need to debug only a particular session among thousands of sessions. It is also possible
to specify multiple conditions.
