[Start record]

Starting record for message range. Log trace prints

messages within specified range. If both starting and

 

 

 

ending record numbers are set to infinity, log trace

 

 

 

captures all messages. All messages are always sent

 

 

 

to the client. However, console messages can be

 

 

 

filtered by setting the log trace flags on the switch.

 

 

[Timestamp inactive]

Indicates how the time stamp will print on log

messages. In absolute <ABS> mode, the system up

 

 

 

time is used (this resets to 0 at each reboot). In

 

 

 

relative <REL> mode, you can specify a start time

 

 

 

by setting the timestamp to 0. In delta <DEL> mode,

 

 

 

the time difference between successive log messages

 

 

 

is printed.

 

 

[Filter Flags]

Limits printed messages to the designated message

type. Filter flag values are bitmapped, however,

 

 

 

enabling you to also print a combination of message

 

 

 

types by specifying alternate values. For example,

 

 

 

by entering 13, you can display messages that have

 

 

 

error, critical or emergency flags (13= 8 + 4 + 1). See
