Tracing

You are allowed to change the value of trace parameters without interrupting the service by editing the trace parameter in the fastpcrf.conf configuration file and executing the service fastpcrf reload command.

The log level is specified by the trace parameter in the fastpcrf.conf configuration file. The trace option takes a parameter as a bit mask, where each bit specifies a log level for a specific subsystem:
