Debugging
Select the Debugging option to gather debugging information useful for tracking possible errors. The Debugging dialog opens.
Figure : The Debugging dialog
Enable Debugging
Select the Enable Debugging check box to log debugging
information. Enabling this option slows down the client, so it
should be only done to track error situations, for example when
requested by SSH technical support.
Debug
The Debug options define how much debugging
information will be collected and where the data will be saved.
- Level
Type in a number to indicate the debug level. Higher numbers will produce more debugging data. A typical value for debug level is 3 or 4. Debug levels approaching 10 will produce large amounts of debugging data and make the software very slow.
Alternatively you can specify different debug levels for different operations. For example the debug value 4, ssheventloop=7
would define the general debug level as 4, but for ssheventloop
activity the debug level would be 7.
- File
Select the file where debug data will be saved. Either type in the path and filename, or click the button on the righthand side of the text field to open a Save As dialog, allowing you to locate the save file.
- Clear File on Startup
Select the Clear File on Startup check box to delete the debug data every time SSH Secure Shell is launched.
Note: If this option is not checked, the log file will keep continuosly growing and must be manually manually cleared.
Debug File
The Debug File displays a scrollable view of the currently gathered debug data.
- Clear File
Click the Clear File button to empty the current debug data file.
- Open File in Editor
Click the Open File in Editor button to open the current debug data file in a text editor, allowing you to view, edit, save or print the data.
- OK
Click the OK button to accept the current settings and close the Debugging dialog.
- Cancel
Click the Cancel button to discard the changes and close the Debugging dialog.
