The dfstrace Commands

The dfstrace commands allow you to manipulate the event sets and trace logs that make up the underlying DFS trace facility. You can perform the following functions with the dfstrace commands:

· List information about event sets with the dfstrace lsset command. You can list event sets and get state and persistence information on each set.

· Set an event set's state with the dfstrace setset command. You can set an event set's state to active, inactive, or dormant.

· List information about trace logs with the dfstrace lslog command. You can list trace logs and get size and allocation information on each log.

· Change the size of trace logs with the dfstrace setlog command. The size of trace logs are specified in 4-kilobyte units (kwords).

· Dump the contents of trace logs with the dfstrace dump command. You can dump kernel trace logs to standard output or to a file; you can also continuously dump a kernel trace log. You can dump server process logs to a file only.

· Clear trace logs with the dfstrace clear command. You can completely remove the current contents of one or more trace logs.
