Enabling debug in the local controller configuration

A property is now available to enable debug in the local configuration on the BigFix® Remote Control controller.

About this task

Use the debug.trace property to enable debug on the controller. To enable debug, complete the following steps:

Procedure

  1. Edit the trc.properties file that is in your home directory.
    The file is in the following directory.
    Windows systems

    USERHOMEDIR\.trc\trc.properties, where USERHOMEDIR is the home directory of the logged on user.

    Linux or macOS systems

    USERHOMEDIR/.trc/trc.properties, where USERHOMEDIR is the home directory of the logged on user.

  2. Set debug.trace=true.
  3. Save the file and restart the controller.

Results

The next time that you start a session, the events that take place are logged in the trctrace_XXXXX.log file in your home directory. The file name contains the date and time stamp of when the file was created. For example, trctrace_20170309_124230.log
