ELS Monitoring Commands (Talk 5)

wrap-mode . . .

decode [off or 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.

on Enables packet tracing.

reset Clears the trace buffer and resets all associated counters.

stop-event event id

Stops tracing when an event (event id) occurs. Enter either an ELS event id (for example: TCP.013) or ªNoneº. ªNoneº is the default. Tracing stops only if the display of the particular ELS event is enabled.

When a stop-event occurs, an entry is written to the trace buffer. The view command for this trace entry will display ªTracing stopped due to ELS Event Id: TCP.013º.

After tracing stops due to a stop-event, you must re-enable tracing

with the set trace on command. (A restart will also re-enable tracing if enabled from the ELS Config> prompt.)

Example:

set trace stop-event TCP.013

wrap-mode off/on

Turns the trace buffer wrap mode on or off. When wrap mode is enabled and the trace buffer is full, previous trace records will be overwritten by new trace records as necessary to continue tracing.

Statistics

Use the statistics command to display a list of all of the available subsystems and their statistics.

Note: The following example may not match your display exactly. The output of the command depends on the version and release of the installed software.
