Configuring Tracing of SNMP Activity (NSM Procedure)
Copyright © 2010, Juniper Networks, Inc.
You can configure the traceoptions feature to track the activities of SNMP agents and
record the information in log files. The logged error descriptions provide information you
can use to solve problems faster. If this feature is not configured, JUNOS Software does
not trace SNMP activities. The default tracing behavior is outlined below:
Important activities are logged in files located in the
change the directory in which trace files are located. You can only customize other
settings. Each log is named after the SNMP agent that generates it.
When a trace file named filename reaches its maximum size, it is renamed filename.0,
then filename.1, and so on, until the maximum number of trace files is reached. Then
the oldest trace file is overwritten. You can set the file size to be of any size from 10 KB
through 1 gigabyte (GB). When the size of the trace file reaches the maximum value,
it is renamed to the next consequential name. This process repeats until the maximum
file number limit is reached. Then the oldest file is overwritten by the newest file. This
way, new files are created once the size of each file exceeds the specified maximum
file size value. The number of files can be from 2 through 1000.
Log files can be accessed only by the user who configures the tracing operation.
