trace Command

The trace command displays details of service requests, confirmations, or errors. You need to specify the level of tracing you want to use.

trace full | none | trace-event-list ;

• full

  Traces everything. Full tracing degrades performance, so you should use it only during testing.

• none

  Turns off all tracing

trace-event-list

A comma-separated list of one or more of the following trace options:

• alert

  Displays authentication errors.

• cert

  Displays certificate operations.

• connect

  Displays connections.

• diag

  Traces local DXserver operations that were refused.

• dsa

  Similar to the x500 trace, but also includes tracing of the module flow inside the DSA.

• error

Displays error messages of high severity. Compare with trace warn.

These events that may impact on the ability of DXserver to perform a requested operation. This is the default trace level.

We recommend that the error trace option is included in the set trace command during normal operation.

• ldap

  Traces detailed LDAP operations. The output can become quite large when searches return a large number of entries.

• limit

  Traces any violation of size or time limits.

• query

  Displays a one-line summary containing the server request and result.

• stack

  Displays detailed protocol tracing. The output can become quite large.

• stats

  Displays statistical information for each minute the DSA is not idle.

• summary

  Displays a one-line summary containing the service request and result.

• time

  Displays the time taken for successful operations.

To send this output to a separate file, use the set time-log command.

• update

  Displays update operations-add, delete, modify, and rename.

• warn

Displays error messages of moderate severity. Compare with trace error.

Warn messages usually represent a user error, rather than a problem with DXserver.

• x500

  Displays the full details of the service request, confirmation, or error. This traces DAP, DSP, and LDAP operations. The output can become quite large when searches return a large number of entries.
