SSS_DEBUGLEVEL(8)

NAME
sss_debuglevel - change debug level while SSSD is running

SYNOPSIS

sss_debuglevel [options] NEW_DEBUG_LEVEL

DESCRIPTION

sss_debuglevel changes debug level of SSSD monitor and providers to NEW_DEBUG_LEVEL while SSSD is running.

OPTIONS

-c,--config
    Specify a non-default config file. The default is /etc/sssd/sssd.conf. For reference on the config file syntax and options, consult the sssd.conf(5) manual page.

NEW_DEBUG_LEVEL
    SSSD supports two representations for specifying the debug level. The simplest is to specify a decimal value from 0-9, which represents enabling that level and all lower-level debug messages. The more comprehensive option is to specify a hexadecimal bitmask to enable or disable specific levels (such as if you wish to suppress a level).

    Please note that each SSSD service logs into its own log file. Also please note that enabling “debug_level” in the “[sssd]” section only enables debugging just for the sssd process itself, not for the responder or provider processes. The “debug_level” parameter should be added to all sections that you wish to produce debug logs from.

    In addition to changing the log level in the config file using the “debug_level” parameter, which is persistent, but requires SSSD restart, it is also possible to change the debug level on the fly using the sss_debuglevel(8) tool.

    Currently supported debug levels:

    0, 0x0010: Fatal failures. Anything that would prevent SSSD from starting up or causes it to cease running.

    1, 0x0020: Critical failures. An error that doesn't kill the SSSD, but one that indicates that at least one major feature is not going to work properly.

    2, 0x0040: Serious failures. An error announcing that a particular request or operation has failed.

    3, 0x0080: Minor failures. These are the errors that would percolate down to cause the operation failure of 2.

    4, 0x0100: Configuration settings.

    5, 0x0200: Function data.

    6, 0x0400: Trace messages for operation functions.

    7, 0x1000: Trace messages for internal control functions.

    8, 0x2000: Contents of function-internal variables that may be interesting.

    9, 0x4000: Extremely low-level tracing information.

    To log required bitmask debug levels, simply add their numbers together as shown in following examples:

    Example: To log fatal failures, critical failures, serious failures and function data use 0x0270.

    Example: To log fatal failures, configuration settings, function data, trace messages for internal control functions use 0x1310.

    Note: The bitmask format of debug levels was introduced in 1.7.0.

    Default: 0
