Since the trace log is circular, clearing the buffer is never necessary.
Trace log
System trace messages are generated by the various system software modules and stored in the
system trace log. Each module has discretion as to which trace messages are flagged as errors.
The trace driver forwards “serious or fatal” error messages to the low-level driver to be
forwarded to the Fault Monitor Module.
There are four fields in each message:
• Date
• Time
• System module or component
• Text of message
Viewing the Fault Monitor Module trace log
The Fault Monitor Module trace log is used by technicians to view critical system traces and
troubleshoot system anomalies. A sample of the Fault Monitor Module trace log is shown in
Figure A-7.
