SCF Commands for the SNMP Agent
SNMP Configuration and Management Manual—424777-006

VERSION Command
•
While being traced, the NonStop agent process continues normal operation.
However, during its operation, the NonStop agent process also collects all trace
information that meets the selection criteria specified in the TRACE command and
passes it to a trace procedure. The trace procedure stores this information in a
trace file.
•
To alter a previously started trace operation, issue the TRACE command without
the STOP or TO options and include a modified COUNT, RECSIZE, or SELECT
specification. Trace parameters other than COUNT, RECSIZE, and SELECT
cannot be modified during an ongoing trace.
•
To stop a trace operation, issue the TRACE command with the STOP option.
•
When you initiate a trace operation with the TRACE command, tracing stops when
the backup takes over.
The only way to enable tracing in the backup is to include the TRACE startup
parameter when you start the NonStop agent process. On a takeover, the backup
begins tracing its reinitialization, storing a complete set of records for all objects.
The NonStop agent supports the PTrace utility, described in Section 6, SNMP
Agent PTrace Facility.
Examples: TRACE
•
The following command starts a trace operation of method invocations only on
NonStop agent process $ZSNMP and writes results into the file named
$DATA.SNMP.TRACE:
-> TRACE PROCESS $ZSNMP, TO $DATA.SNMP.TRACE, SELECT METHOD
•
The following command alters the previously started trace to allow trace data to be
overwritten when the end of file (EOF) is reached:
-> TRACE PROCESS $ZSNMP, WRAP
•
The next example stops the trace:
-> TRACE PROCESS $ZSNMP, STOP
