Starting and Stopping Debug Recording

To activate debug recording of debug recoding rules configured in the Logging Filters table, you need to manually start the debug recording process, as described in this section. By default, debug recording runs for 60 minutes before automatically stopping (unless you manually stop it before this time). You can modify this debug recording duration if needed.

● The device does debug recording only for rules in the Logging Filters table with the following settings:
✔ 'Mode' parameter is configured to Enable.
✔ 'Log Destination' parameter is configured to Debug Recording Server.
● If debug recording is currently running (i.e., started), the device resets the debug recording timer to the configured debug recording timeout upon the following:
✔ A new rule is added to, or an existing rule is modified in, the Logging Filters table.
✔ A device restart.
✔ An HA switchover.
➢ To start debug recording:
1. Configure a debug recording rule(s) in the Logging Filters table and configure its 'Mode' parameter to Enable (see Configuring Logging Filter Rules).
2. Open the Debug Recording page (Troubleshoot tab > Troubleshoot menu > Logging folder > Debug Recording).
3. Configure the maximum duration for debug recording:
a. In the 'Debug Recording Timeout' field, configure the maximum duration (in minutes) for the debug recording process. When this timer expires, the device automatically stops debug recording (unless you've explicitly stopped it before the timer expires).
b. Click Apply.
4. Click the Start Debug Recording button; the device starts debug recording and the following is displayed in these read-only fields:
● The 'Debug Recording Status' field displays "Started".
● The 'Debug Recording End Date & Time' field displays the date and UTC time when debug recording will automatically stop:

➢ To stop debug recording:
1. Click the Stop Debug Recording button; the device stops debug recording and the read-only 'Debug Recording Status' field displays "Stopped".
