There are some netconfd-pro CLI parameters available that make debugging SIL and SIL-SA code simpler.


  • --log-level=debug4: Turn on maximum debugging output
  • --log-mirroring: sends log info to STDOUT in addition to a log file if --log=foo.log is used
  • --log=filespec: Send log output to the specified file
  • --message-indent=2: causes XML and JSON packets to be indented 2 spaces when sent so log files are more readable
  • --no-watcher: disables the yp-watcher program from restarting the netconfd-pro process.  Useful if the server is stopped at a breakpoint or it crashes and you want to recover some crash information.
  • --access-control=off: Turn off NACM access control enforcement
  • --no-config: Do not load the default server configuration at /etc/yumapro/netconfd-pro.conf
  • --idle-timeout=0: Turn off the idle timeout for client sessions
  • --subsys-timeout=0: Turn off the message response timeout for subsystems, Useful for debugging SIL-SA code
  • --factory-startup: Load the factory default running configuration and save it to startup-cfg.xml
  • --superuser=fred: Set "fred" to be the superuser and bypass NACM access control
