Troubleshooting path views

If the path was not successfully traced, then you get a path trace error, indicating the reason that the path could not be traced.

Path trace troubleshooting table
Use this troubleshooting table to determine the type of error that you are encountering and to determine the possible reason for the error and actions to take that might resolve the error.
Interpreting detailed path trace output
In the case of a path trace error you can access detailed path trace output by clicking on the error message that is displayed in the Trace Network Path window. Scroll down to the end of the path trace output and look for lines that contain the text WARNING and ERROR. These lines contain the most precise information on the nature and cause of the problem.
Setting path trace timeouts
There are three timeouts associated with the path trace. You can modify the path trace timeouts; for example, you can make the timeouts longer if you want to give the path trace more time to retrieve device information.
Switching on path trace debugging
To get more detailed path trace output in the logs and in the Path Views GUI and Path View Administration GUI, switch on path trace debugging.
