Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality.

Reload Reason History

Feature history

Table 1. Feature history for reload reason history
Feature name	Release information	Feature description
Reload Reason History	Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1	The Reload Reason History feature tracks the reasons for controller reload. This is done for the last 10 reloads. In Cisco IOS-XE Dublin 17.10.x and earlier releases, it was possible to track only the reason for the last reload.

Reload reason history

Reload reason history is a diagnostic and serviceability feature that

records the reasons for controller reloads
maintains a log of the last ten reload events, and
provides access to this data through CLI commands or programmable interfaces like NETCONF/YANG.

This feature is useful for troubleshooting abnormal reboots and understanding system behavior in production environments. Cisco introduced it in IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1, enhancing previous capabilities that only recorded the last reload reason.

View reload reason history

View the history using the show version command and the Network Configuration Protocol (NETCONF).

Note

When you reload the standby controller, the system report files are generated in the controller hard disk.

Request reload reason history using YANG

Use YANG with NETCONF and RESTCONF to provide the desired solution for automated and programmable network operations.

Procedure

Use RPC to create a NETCONF GET request for reload history data.

Example:


<nc:rpc xmlns:nc="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:netconf:base:1.0" message-id="urn:uuid:da15955f-5bb7-437c-aeb5-0fc7901a1e9e">
