Entry #347: How do I run agentmgr in maximum debug?

Question
How do I run agentmgr in maximum debug?
Answer
To run agentmgr in maximum debug mode, please do the following:

1. Log in to unix machine as root

2. Change directories to $FRTLHOME/bin

3. Create a modified slagent script, setting the agentmgr debug option to maximum debug.

cat slagent | sed 's/aflags="-dd"/aflags="-ddd"/' > slagent.aflags

4. Compare the new slagent.aflags script with the slagent script. Only one line should appear as changed.

diff slagent slagent.aflags

The following output should appear:

171c171
< aflags="-dd"
---
> aflags="-ddd"

5. If you do not see the above output, then manually edit the slagent script, and locate where aflags is set. Change aflags to equal "-ddd".

6. Change the attributes of slagent.aflags so that it is executable.

chmod 755 slagent.aflags

7. Stop the SightLine software using the slagent script.

./slagent stop

8. Then start the software using slagent.aflags with the -da option to turn on debug for the agentmgr.

./slagent.aflags -da start

9. The agentmgr is now running in maximum debug.

10. To return to normal mode, use slagent script as usual to stop.

./slagent stop

11. Preserve the log files generated in $FRTLHOME/log before starting software back up in normal mode.

cd $FRTLHOME
tar cvf logfiles.tar log

12. If the tar file is large, it may also be compressed using gzip.

gzip logfiles.tar

13. Start SightLine software in normal mode.

./slagent start
