ELS Con®guration Commands (Talk 6)

included in the logged message at the remote ®le and can help identify which machine logged the message.

timestamp [timeofday or uptime or off]

Allows you to turn on message timestamping so that either the time of day or uptime (number of hours, minutes, and seconds, but no date, since the router was last initialized) appears next to each message. Set timestamp can also be turned off.

Use the set timestamp command to enable one of the following timestamp options.

timeofday

Adds an HH:MM:SS pre®x to each ELS message indicating the time of the occurrence during a 24-hour day.

uptime

Adds an HH:MM:SS pre®x to each ELS message indicating the time of the occurrence during a 100-hour cycle. After 100 hours of uptime, the uptime counter returns to zero to begin another 100-hour cycle.

off Turns off the ELS timestamp pre®x.

trace Use the set trace command to con®gure tracing options. If you con®gure
tracing options from the monitoring environment, the changes take effect
immediately. They return to their previously con®gured settings when the
device is rebooted.
Note: Tracing should be used only under the direction of trained support
	personnel. Tracing, especially when used with disk-shadowing
	enabled, uses device resources and can impact overall performance
	and throughput.

decode off/on
	Turns packet decoding on or off. Packet decoding is not supported
	by all components.
default-bytes-per-pkt bytes
	Sets the default number of bytes traced. This value is used if a
	value is not speci®ed by the component doing the tracing.
max-bytes-per-pkt bytes
	Sets the maximum number of bytes traced for each packet.
off	Disables packet tracing.
