Description

Enables and disables the debug of the PEP.

Syntax

pep debug <parameter> <option>

on

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

off

Disables the PEP debug.

set <topic_name> <severity>

Filters the PEP 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:

pep debug set all all

unset <topic_name>

Unsets a specific topic or topics.

stat

Shows the PEP debug status.

reset

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

rotate

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

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

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

memory

Displays the memory consumption by the pepd daemon.

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

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

ip_map raw

Displays IP address mapping debug information.

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