Executing the Tracing Scripts

Tracing logs assist you in backtracking the steps that you or the system has performed to accomplish a task. This information is useful when you want to conduct forensics of the unexpected outcomes.

PCF provides two scripts that let you obtain the tracing information:

  • trace_ids.sh: Manages the rules for activating and deactivating traces within the system.

  • trace.sh: Allows retrieval of the real-time and historical traces.
