Parameters

Parameter and Option

Description

async1

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

ccc

on

off

Configures whether to write the CCC debug logs into the PDP log file $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg:

  • on - Writes the CCC debug logs
  • off - Does not write the CCC debug logs

memory

Shows the memory consumption by the pdpd daemon.

off

Disables the PDP debug.

on

Enables the PDP debug.

Important - After you run this command "pdp debug on", you must run the command "pdp debug set ..." to determine the required filter.

reset

Resets the PDP debug options for Debug Topic and Severity.

Important - After you run this command "pdp debug reset", you must run the command "pdp debug off" to turn off the debug.

rotate

Rotates the PDP log files - increases 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.

set <Topic Name> <Severity>

Filters which debug logs PDP 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:

pdp debug set all all

spaces

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

Displays and sets the number of indentation spaces in the $FWDIR/log/pdpd.elg file.

The default is 0 spaces.

stat

Shows the PDP current debug status.

unset <Topic Name>

Unsets the specified Debug Topic(s).

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