Trace Logs

In addition to the syslog buffer, Dell Networking OS buffers trace messages which are continuously written by various Dell Networking OS
software tasks to report hardware and software events and status information.
Each trace message provides the date, time, and name of the Dell Networking OS process. All messages are stored in a ring buffer. You can
save the messages to a file either manually or automatically after failover.

Auto Save on Crash or Rollover

Exception information for MASTER or standby units is stored in the flash:/TRACE_LOG_DIR directory. This directory contains files that
save trace information when there has been a task crash or timeout.
• On a MASTER unit, you can reach the TRACE_LOG_DIR files by FTP or by using the show file command from the flash://
TRACE_LOG_DIR directory.

Hardware Watchdog Timer

The hardware watchdog command automatically reboots an Dell Networking OS switch/router with a single RPM that is unresponsive.
This is a last resort mechanism intended to prevent a manual power cycle.

Enabling Environmental Monitoring

The device components use environmental monitoring hardware to detect transmit power readings, receive power readings, and
temperature updates.
To receive periodic power updates, you must enable the following command.
• Enable environmental monitoring.
enable optic-info-update interval
