Expert configuration of trace output

Going beyond the settings of the Guided configuration, traces and other displays can be set up precisely using the Expert configuration. The Expert Configuration is divided into three areas: Show, Status and Trace properties.

Show

Relevant information can be retrieved from any device type using Show commands, which are usually applied at the command line (Telnet). In the Expert configuration of the trace, this Show command can be invoked very conveniently from the Windows user interface.

To include the dump of a Show command in the trace data, click the appropriate checkbox to the left of the entry name. Any Show command can be activated to run just once when the trace is started or at regular intervals (set in seconds).

Note: The settings of the Show commands are stored in the trace configuration together with the actual trace settings.

Status

You can access detailed status information and statistics about a device from the command line (Telnet) or via WEBconfig. All of the available status information can also be shown via the trace dialog.

To include the dump of a status entry into the trace data, click the appropriate checkbox to the left of the entry name. Any activated status entry can be read-out just once when the trace is started or at regular intervals (set in seconds).

Note: The settings of the Status information are stored in the trace configuration together with the actual trace settings. Similarly, the output of the status information is stored along with the actual trace data.

Trace settings

The traces to be dumped for the current device are enabled in the Trace settings area. To include the trace commands into the trace results, click the appropriate checkbox to the left of its name.

A filter can also be entered for any trace. For example, to display only the IP address of a particular workstation, enter the appropriate IP address as a filter of the IP router trace. To find out more about the filter function, read the section Filtering trace output.
