Using advanced options

The reset command restores the trace system to the default values that are set in the trace configuration file.

The status command with the -v (verbose) option provides more trace information, including the values of trace variables. The following command returns verbose trace information for the SMB trace:
mmprotocoltrace -v status smb
mmprotocoltrace reset smb
The command also performs special actions for each type of trace:
  • For an SMB trace, the reset removes any IP-specific configuration files and sets the log level and log location to the default values.
  • For a Network trace, the reset stops all dumpcap processes.
  • For an Object trace, the reset sets the log level to the default value. It then sets the log location to the default location in the rsyslog configuration file, and restarts the rsyslog service.
The following command resets the SMB trace:
mmprotocoltrace -v status smb
