You want to keep a running log of RSVP events that occur on the router in case any problems arise and you need to debug problems with RSVP or your LSPs.
When performing ongoing monitoring of RSVP operations, set up tracing options to track RSVP events that occur on the router:
[edit protocols rsvp] aviva@R1# set traceoptions file rsvp-trace-log world-readable aviva@R1# set traceoptions flag packets detail
Its a good practice to trace high-level RSVP operations on an ongoing basis so that if a problem occurs, you can examine the logs as part of your troubleshooting process. Then you can enable more detailed traceoptions flags to help pinpoint the causes.
This recipe sets up tracing of RSVP packets that are sent and received by the router, saving them to the file rsvp-trace-log. The world-readable option allows anyone logged in to the router to read the file. This file is created on the routers hard disk in the directories /var/log (on M-series and T-series routers) and /cf/var/log (on J-series routers). The detail option provides additional information about the packets. Heres what the file contains when existing RSVP sessions are cleared and then restarted:

The first RSVP packet sent is a PathErr, which indicates that some type of error has occurred on the LSP. When RSVP clears the sessions, it sends two PathTear messages to tear down the session, one message to the interface link between 10.1.13.1 and 10.1.13.2, and the second message to the link between the loopback addresses of the ingress router (10.0.0.1) and the egress router (10.0.0.6). As RSVP re-establishes the LSP, it exchanges Path and Resv messages. Once the RSVP session is set up again, RSVP exchanges periodic Hello messages. The information logged for the RSVP Path packets is similar to the show rsvp session detail command output:

The configuration in this recipe creates 10 logfiles (the default) and uses the default trace file size of 10 MB, which is generally a useful size for logging events over a long period of time. If the router is the ingress or egress point for a large number of LSPs, you might want to increase the file size so that you have time to review or archive the logfiles before the files start overwriting each other:
[edit protocols rsvp] aviva@RouterF# set traceoptions file size 100M
When debugging BGP, you can set one or more of the following trace flags to monitor BGP information:
[edit protocols rsvp] aviva@R1# set traceoptions flag ? Possible completions: all Trace everything error Trace error conditions event Trace RSVP related events lmp Trace RSVP-LMP related interactions packets Trace all RSVP packets path Trace RSVP path messages pathtear Trace RSVP PathTear messages resv Trace RSVP Resv messages resvtear Trace RSVP ResvTear messages route Trace routing information state Trace state transitions
If you are receiving signaling errors when setting up or running RSVP, use the flag error flag to log erroneous conditions.
