Using the QoS Log
The QoS software in the switch creates its own log for QoS-specific events. You may modify the number
of lines in the log or change the level of detail given in the log. The PolicyView application, which is used
to create QoS policies stored on an LDAP server, may query the switch for log events; or log events can be
immediately available to the PolicyView application via a CLI command. Log events may also be
forwarded to the console in real time.
What Kind of Information Is Logged
The debug qos command controls what kind of information will be displayed in the log. The qos log level
command determines how specific the log messages will be. See “Log Detail Level” on page 24-15.
By default, only the most basic QoS information is logged. The types of information that may be logged
includes rules, Layer 2 and Layer 3 information, etc. For a detailed explanation about the types of informa-
tion that may be logged, see the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. A brief summary of the available
keywords is given here:
To display information about any QoS rules on the switch, enter the debug qos command with the rules
keyword:
-> debug qos rules
To change the type of debugging, use no with the relevant type of information that you want to remove.
For example:
-> debug qos no rules
To turn off debugging (which effectively turns off logging), enter the following:
-> no debug qos
Enter the qos apply command to activate the setting.
Number of Lines in the QoS Log
By default the QoS log displays a maximum of 256 lines. To change the maximum number of lines that
may display, use the qos log lines command and enter the number of lines. For example:
-> qos log lines 30
The number of lines in the log is changed. To activate the change, enter the qos apply command.
