Notes
To disable logging, set P4DEBUG to
server=0.
The proxy does not set debugging by default.
The best practice for setting trace options for the Helix server on all platforms is to use p4 configure set and p4 configure unset. These alter the trace options without stopping the server. For example, p4 configure set server=3 and p4 configure unset server.
For the proxy, the options can be set on the command line and in P4DEBUG.
Setting server debug levels on a
Helix Server (p4d) by using P4DEBUG has no effect on the debug level of:
-
Helix Proxy (
p4p) processes -
downstream replicas or edge servers
Windows
Helix server or proxies as services running Windows do not support setting options on the command line. However, administrators at Windows sites can use p4 set to set the trace options within P4DEBUG, allowing the service to run with the options enabled.
