Usage Guidelines Because the performance of the WAAS device degrades when you use the debug command, we

recommend that you use this command only at the direction of Cisco TAC. For more information, see

the “Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request” section on page xviii.

If the watchdog utility is not running, the message “WAAS is not running” appears.

Use the show debugging command to display enabled debug options.

The output associated with the debug command is written to either the syslog file in /local1/syslog.txt

or the debug log associated with the module in the file /local1/errorlog/module_name-errorlog.current.

The debug log file associated with a module will be rotated to a backup file when the current file reaches

its maximum size. The backup files are named as follows: name-errorlog.#, where # is the backup file

number.

For any debug command, system logging must be enabled. The command to enable logging is the

logging disk enable global configuration command, which is enabled by default.

If a debug command module uses the syslog for debug output, then you must use the logging disk

priority debug global configuration command (the default is logging disk priority notice).

If a debug command module uses the debug log for output, then the output can be filtered based on the

priority level configuration for the four different levels of debug log output, as follows:

• For filtering on critical debug messages only, use the logging disk priority critical global

configuration command.

buf (Optional) Enables buffer manager debugging.

all Enables all buffer manager debugging.

dmbuf Enables only dmbuf debugging.

dmsg Enables only dmsg debugging.
