mftrace.dest.component-name

Specifies additional (or replacement) output destinations that are to be used when tracing a component.

Syntax:

mftrace.dest.component-name=[(]emitter-list[)]

Parameters:

component-name

The component whose trace entries are to be routed to the output destinations identified by emitter-list.

emitter-list

A list of comma-or space-separated emitter names. See Emitter List for a list of available emitters.

If emitter-list is enclosed in parentheses, the component’s trace events will only be routed to those output destinations specified by emitter list and not to any inherited from its parent.

Emitter names are case-insensitive.

Default:

If not set, a component’s output destinations are inherited from its parent.

Comments:

If you specify multiple mftrace.dest.component-name definitions for a given component in the configuration file their effect is cumulative.

Examples:

To specify that tracing events from the mf.rts component are output to a binary file in addition to the default text file that trace events from all other components will be output to. All components that inherit from the mf.rts component (such as mf.rts.err and mf.rts.mem) also have their trace events routed to the a binary file and the default text file:

...
mftrace.level=INFO
mftrace.dest=TEXTFILE
mftrace.dest.MF.RTS=BINFILE
...

To specify that tracing events from the mf.rts component are to be output only to a binary file. All components that inherit from the mf.rts component (such as mf.rts.err and mf.rts.mem) also have their trace events output only to a binary file. All other components’ trace events are output to the default text file:
