dev_icm trace level not coming back

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

By Default Trace is at level 1 in the system.
We made it trace level 3 and it started to record all the logs.

But when we revert trace to level 1 its not coming back to trace level
1 , still its recording all the traces at level 3.

Only after restart of ICM its coming back to Trace level 1.

can any one tell me the correct reson.

Hi Venkat,

When ICM accepts or creates a new connection, this connection will inherit the current trace level - until the connection is closed. So even when you reduce the trace level e.g. from 3 to 1, all existing connections will continue writing with the trace level that was active when the connection was created. Some connections can live for quite some time, because they are reused by the client for several requests (Keep-alive).

Regards,

Tobias

is there any specfic note are doc for the above conclusion ?

No, I don't know of any note or doc that says this. But you can observe it e.g. by following the connection ids in the trace.

Also, you will notice that, as connections get closed, there will be less and less written into the trace. Of course with trace level 3 and many connections, it might still happen that the trace is rolled over and overwritten.

Hi,

What's the kernel level and release.

Have you tried to set it to default value in smicm ---> goto trace -> default

what do you see when you smicm ---> goto trace -> trace --> set.

Thanks
