Turning on tracing

To use the tracing utility, use a local logon credential for the computer. This tracing method uses the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Service Console. Access the Service Console by using a web browser.


When you start the Service Console, information is displayed about the components that are currently running on that computer. For example, these components are listed as follows:

After you log on, you can type a question mark (?) to display a list of the supported commands. Use the ras1 command to modify trace settings. If you type this command in the field provided in the Service Console window and click Submit, the help for this command is displayed.


Procedure

  1. Open a web browser and enter the URL to access the Service Console.

      http://hostname:1920

    where hostname is the IP address or host name of the computer on which the IBM Tivoli Monitoring component is running.

  2. Click the hyperlink associated with the component for which you want to modify its trace settings.

    In the previous view, if you want to modify tracing for the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server, select IBM Tivoli Monitoring Service Console under Service Point: system.your host name_ms.

  3. Enter a user ID and password to access the system. This ID is any valid user that has access to the system.

  4. Enter the command to turn on the required level of trace for the specified component classes or units.

      ras1 set (UNIT|COMP: class_name ALL|Flow|ERROR|Detail|INPUT|Metrics|OUTPUT|STATE) 
      {(UNIT|COMP: class_name ALL|Flow|ERROR|Detail|INPUT|Metrics|OUTPUT|STATE)}

    For example, to turn on the control flow trace for the KDE, the command is:

      ras1 (COMP:KDE Flow)
