29 Monitoring Memory
Debug memory monitor commands can monitor memory allocation and free memory (such as detection of
invalid free addresses and maintenance of size statistics). These commands are useful for monitoring
logging of events, leak detection, classification of memory allocations, detection of invalid free addresses,
and maintenance of size statistics.
Notes. System Debug (kTrace and sysTrace) commands are intended for use by qualified Alcatel
Customer Support personnel to assist customers in diagnosing or debugging system performance. For
information about these commands, see the chapter titled, “Memory Monitoring Commands” in the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide. It is strongly recommended that you contact an Alcatel Customer
Service representative for assistance.
The Switch Logging feature is a high-level event logging mechanism that can also be useful in maintain-
ing and servicing the switch. For information about this feature, see Chapter 28, “Using Switch Logging”.
The configuration snapshot command can be used to capture and save all kTrace, sysTrace, Memory
Monitor, and Switch Logging configuration settings in a “snapshot” text file that can be viewed, edited,
and used as a configuration file. See the chapter titled, “Working with Configuration Files” in your
OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide for details.
