Closed Kzibi closed 5 years ago

Kzibi commented 5 years ago

pimd is running with ident pimd_jambox[

  1. pimctl restart leave untouched socket, so after that pimctl is not working (pimd is working fine with new pid)

  2. pimctl log debug ; pimd_jambox: Setting new log level debug pimctl debug pim_jp nothing is logging , but tcpdump show pim join/prune packets with more debug options, pim report : pimd_jambox: logging too fast, shutting up for 10 minutes pimd_jambox: logging enabled again after rate limiting

I'm guessing this is the latest master sources? You should know, first of all, that this is still in development and not considered stable.

Now, I'm aware of several problems with the current implementation of debug.c:logit(). In fact, the whole thing should probably be refactored completely before the 3.0 release. However, in the meantime, what you can try is run pimd -n, i.e. in the foreground, to get all logs to stdout/stderr instead. That should help your debugging efforts.

OK, I've looked into this now. It turns out not even the original sources had any sub-system scoping for join/prune messages, or even any relevant log messages -- so not implemented ... almost. We "recently" added log messages for join/prune, but they're not scoped (yet). Available from loglevel LOG_INFO.

I will take the opportunity to introduce sub-system scoping of these new log messages right now. So it will be made available as intended very soon.
