Parameters

Parameter and Option	Description
memory	Displays the memory consumption by the pepd daemon.
off	Disables the PEP debug.
on	Enables the PEP debug. Important - After you run this command "`pep debug on`", you must run the command "`pep debug set ...`" to determine the required filter.
reset	Resets the PEP debug options for Debug Topics and Severities. Important - After you run this command "`pep debug reset ...`", you must run the command "`pep debug off`" to turn off the debug.
rotate	Rotates the PEP log files - increases 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.
set <Topic Name> <Severity>	Filters which debug logs PEP writes to the log file based on the specified Debug Topics and Severity. Available Debug Topics are: `all` Check Point Support provides more specific topics, based on the reported issue Available Severities are: `all` `critical` `events` `important` `surprise` Best Practice: We recommend to enable all Topics and all Severities. Run: `pep debug set all all`
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 spaces.
stat	Shows the PEP current debug status.
unset <Topic Name>	Unsets the specified Debug Topic(s).

Important - When you enable the debug, it affects the performance of the pepd daemon. Make sure to turn off the debug after you complete your troubleshooting.
