DXSpider Debug Commands and Levels
General Information
The debug commands or levels are set and unset through the console or the startup script. This gives the sysop the ability to control the messages that are logged in the debug files. The debug files can be found in '/spider/local_data/debug/<year>/<day of year>.dat'. i.e.:
/spider/local_data/debug/2025/094.dat
In the console, to enable debugging:
set/debug
This will enable debugging with the default levels. The default debug levels are:
cron progress chan connect state msg nologchan
The set/debug command and default levels are persistent though restarts. There is no need to set it at each session. Any changes to the default levels are not persistent, and will need to be set as needed in the console. If you wish these changes to be persistent, you can add set or unset commands to the startup script in '/spider/scripts/startup'.
Examples
To enable the logging of PC11 messages
set/debug pc11
To unset the default of not logging channels:
unset/debug nologchan
The same set and unset commands can be listed in the startup script to make these changes persistent.
