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

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.
