In trace mode, the Event Stream Processor performs extra checks for possible debugging operations and breakpoints, and collects extra information about execution history.
Use the esp_client utility to enable, disable, and the check the status of trace mode.
For example, in an instance of esp_client, check the status of trace mode, turn it on, check the status again, then turn it off:
esp_client> trace_mode trace mode is off esp_client> trace_mode on esp_client> trace_mode trace mode is on esp_client>trace_mode off esp_client>trace_mode trace mode is off
Trace mode is not associated with any instance of esp_client: you can turn on trace mode and exit esp_client; the Event Stream Processor remains in trace mode until you turn it off in another instance of esp_client.
