Description

Enables and disables the debug of the PDP.

Syntax

pdp debug <parameter> <option>

on

Enables the PDP debug (should be followed by the command "pdp debug set ..." to determine the required filter).

off

Disables the PDP debug.

set <topic_name> <severity>

Filters the PDP debug logs that would be written to the debug file according to the given topic and severity.

Available topics are:

• all
• when needed, more specific topics will be sent by Check Point Support

Available severities are:

• all
• critical
• surprise
• important
• events

Best Practice - We recommend to run:

pdp debug set all all

unset <topic_name>

Unsets a specific topic or topics.

stat

Shows the PDP debug status.

reset

Resets the PDP debug options of severity and topic. The debug is still activated after running this command.
Must be followed by the command "pdp debug off" to turn off the debug.

rotate

Rotates the PDP log files (increase the index of each log file):

$FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg becomes $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg.0,

$FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg.0 becomes $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg.1, and so on.

memory

Shows the memory consumption by the pdpd daemon.

spaces [0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5]

Shows and sets the number of indentation spaces in the $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg file. The default is 0.

ip_map raw

Shows IP address mapping debug information.

ccc {on | off}

Enables / disables the writing of the CCC debug logs into the PDP log file $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg.

async1

Tests async command line using the echo command for 30 seconds.

Important - Activating the debug logs affects the performance of the daemon. Make sure to turn off the debug after you complete troubleshooting.
