DESCRIPTION Use this command to enable or disable real-time trace logging and to indicate whether the feature is

enabled or disabled.

The RTLog facility captures the most recent hardware events and low-level software interrupts on

Brocade DCX platforms in real time. When enabled, the RTLog traces are collected as part of the

supportSave utility. The RTLog generates no console output. The RTLog is enabled by default and

persistent across reboots. The rtLogTrace configuration is lost after a power cycle.

NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for
