Viewing and Interpreting the Trace Files

Chapter 4 Trace

The Cisco CRS server stores the trace files in the Log directory under the directory in which you installed the Cisco CRS component. From the Cisco CRS Administration menu, you can view a list of all trace files and display the contents of any trace file.

Displaying a Trace File

To display a CRS component trace file, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the Cisco CRS Administration menu, choose System > Tracing.

The Trace Configuration web page appears.

Step 2 Select and expand a component from the navigation bar and select Trace Configuration.

A list of subfacility categories appears.

Step 3 Expand the category of subfacility, select the levels of debugging for specific subfacilities, and click Update.

The trace file appears in a separate window.

Interpreting a Trace File

The trace files contain information in standard Syslog format. The file includes some or all of the following information for each event that it records:

•Line number

•Date and time the event occurred

•Facility and subfacility name

•Severity level

•Message name

•Explanation

•Parameters and values

The Thread Dump Trace File

The thread dump trace file is named JVM.log. It is stored on the Cisco CRS server in the Log directory under the directory in which you installed the Cisco CRS Engine. This file contains stack trace information about all threads that are running on the Cisco CRS system. You can write information to this file when you need it. In addition, the system writes information to this file automatically if the system detects a severe system problem. When new information is generated, it is appended to the existing thread dump file.
