Using the QoS Log

The QoS software in the switch creates its own log for QoS-specific events. You may modify the number
of lines in the log or change the level of detail given in the log. The PolicyView application, which is used
to create QoS policies stored on an LDAP server, may query the switch for log events; or log events can be
immediately available to the PolicyView application via a CLI command. Log events may also be
forwarded to the console in real time.

What Kind of Information Is Logged

The debug qos command controls what kind of information will be displayed in the log. The
command determines how specific the log messages will be. See
By default, only the most basic QoS information is logged. The types of information that may be logged
includes rules, Layer 2 and Layer 3 information, etc. For a detailed explanation about the types of informa-
tion that may be logged, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. A brief summary of the available
keywords is given here:
debug qos keywords
info mem
config cam
rule mapper
main flows
route queue
hre slot
port l2
msg l3
sl
To display information about any QoS rules on the switch, enter the debug qos command with the rules
keyword:
-> debug qos rules
To change the type of debugging, use no with the relevant type of information that you want to remove.
For example:
-> debug qos no rules
To turn off debugging (which effectively turns off logging), enter the following:
-> no debug qos
Enter the qos apply command to activate the setting.

Number of Lines in the QoS Log

By default the QoS log displays a maximum of 256 lines. To change the maximum number of lines that
may display, use the
-> qos log lines 30
The number of lines in the log is changed. To activate the change, enter the qos apply command.
