VPN Debug + IKE live view

[HeikoAnkenbrand]

This oneliner will do the work for you.
Use this onliner to start easy a VPN debug without entering all debug commands by hand.

Shows you the results of the ike.elg file as live view.

echo 'echo "VPN Debug start"; function ctrl_c { vpn debug off; vpn debug ikeoff; vpn debug truncoff; echo "VPN Debug stop"; rm /tmp/vd; exit 0;}; trap ctrl_c INT; vpn debug trunc; vpn debug on; vpn debug ikeon; vpn debug on TDERROR_ALL_ALL=5; echo -e "\e[7m"; echo " Stop VPN debug with CTRL-C "; echo -e "\e[0m"; tail -f $FWDIR/log/ike.elg;' > /tmp/vd; chmod 770 /tmp/vd; /tmp/vd

If the VPN error has occurred, you only need to stop the oneliner via CTRL-C.

Now you can find the usual debug files here:
$FWDIR/log/ike.elg
$FWDIR/log/vpnd.elg

This is a simple and very good solution.

Do I see it right, that you use the following VPN debug commands?

vpn debug trunc; 
vpn debug on; 
vpn debug ikeon; 
vpn debug on TDERROR_ALL_ALL=5

What do I have to do after the debug?
Stop debug?

Hi @HeikoAnkenbrand 

Interesting idea. This makes debugging much easier.

Hi @Alice_Shields,

I use the following cli commands in the script.

vpn debug trunc; 
vpn debug on; 
vpn debug ikeon; 
vpn debug on TDERROR_ALL_ALL=5

>>> VPN issue <<<

vpn debug off 
vpn debug ikeoff
vpn debug truncoff
