6.4.6 Watching Servers
The trace output for an active server may be displayed on the controller console. You must
provide a valid control password for the server to be able to watch its trace. Only those
servers where the control password matches the control session control password will be
watched.
When you watch a server, all trace output from that server will also be sent to the current
console running the controller.
The display of trace output messages occurs asynchronously with the command line
interface. The same trace information will also be sent to the servers log file.
Watch is only available in interactive mode.
Note:
Because the server uses Java logger to log trace message to remote consoles such as the
controller, the output from the server will be buffered prior to being sent across the network
to the console. This means that the trace output may be displayed sporadically on the
console as the buffer is first filled and then flushed.
6.4.6.1 Interactive mode
The control commands available to watch servers can be seen in Table 6–15 Interactive
