Command History Release 1.0(2) Modification This command was introduced. Usage Guidelines Use this command to log debug messages to a special log file. This file is more secure and easier to process than sending the debug output to the console.

This example shows you how to find the log file created: switch# debug logfile captureDebug switch# dir log://sup-local/? log: Enter URL "log:[//]/" log://sup-local/dmesg log://sup-local/messages log://sup-local/captureDebug switch# dir log://sup-local/ Examples The following example redirects the output of the debug commands to the file named sample: switch# debug logfile sample The following example assigns the log file size for the file named sample: switch# debug logfile sample size 410000 6-76 Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference OL-18089-01, Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 4.x
