Description

traceoptions (Event Scripts) not supported in qfx5220-32cd running Junos EVO

Symptoms

QFX5220 switch running Junos EVO is displaying a configuration error:

username@hostname> show configuration event-options

event-script {

##

## Warning: configuration block ignored: unsupported platform (qfx5220-32cd)

##

traceoptions {

file escriptest.log size 1m files 2;

flag output;

}

Solution

The cause of seen the Warning message is due to the “traceoptions” statement, which is not a possible and not supported completion within the "event-options event-script" hierarchy.

username@hostname# set event-options event-script 

Possible completions:

+ apply-groups     Groups from which to inherit configuration data

+ apply-groups-except Don't inherit configuration data from these groups

> dampen        Run event scripts in dampen mode

> file         File name for event script

 max-datasize     Maximum data segment size for scripts execution (bytes)

 optional       Allow commit to succeed if the script is missing

 refresh       Refresh all operation scripts from their source

 refresh-from     Refresh all operation scripts from a given base URL

 

Resolution: As per the above output, we can confirm that the “traceoptions” statement is not compatible within the "event-options event-script" hierarchy; therefore, the error is expected on this scenario. If still required, you may need to correct the configuration for supported values for this qfx5220-32cd platform.

 

Important Note: 

Junos OS Evolved captures trace data for all applications by default and collects the data for all script types in trace files that correspond to the cscript application. To view the trace data, issue the “show trace application cscript” command.
