trace.rules( )

Determines whether trace output is generated showing policy rule evaluation for the transaction.

By default, trace output is written to an object accessible using the following console URL:

http://ProxySG_IP_address:8081/Policy/Trace/default_trace.html

The trace output location can be controlled using the trace.destination( ) property.

Note: Tracing is best used temporarily, such as for troubleshooting; the log_message( ) action is

best for on-going monitoring.

Syntax

where:

•yes—Generates output only for rules that match the request.

•all—Additionally shows which rules were skipped because one or more of their conditions were

false or not applicable to the current transaction; displays the specific condition in the rule that

failed.

•no—Suppresses output associated with policy rule evaluation.

The default value is no.
