NAME

       traffic_crashlog - Traffic Server crash log helper

SYNOPSIS

       traffic_crashlog [options]

DESCRIPTION

       traffic_crashlog is a helper process that catches Traffic Server crashes and writes a crash report log to
       the logging directory. Other than for debugging or development purposes, traffic_crashlog is not intended
       for users to run directly.

       When  traffic_server starts, it will launch a traffic_crashlog process and keep it stopped, activating it
       only if a crash occurs.

OPTIONS

       --host TRIPLE
              This option specifies the host triple for the process that traffic_crashlog should examine.  If  a
              supported  host  triple is specified, traffic_crashlog expects to receive a siginfo_t structure on
              it's standard input, followed by a ucontext_t.

       --target PID
              Specifies the process ID of the crashing traffic_server process. If this option is not  specified,
              traffic_crashlog assumes it should examine it's parent process.

       --syslog
              This option causes traffic_crashlog to log the name of the crash log it creates to the system log.

       --debug
              This  option enables debugging mode. In this mode, traffic_crashlog emits the log to it's standard
              output.

       --wait This  option  causes  traffic_crashlog  to  stop  itself  immediately  after   it   is   launched.
              traffic_server will allow it to continue only when a crash occurs.

CAVEATS

       traffic_crashlog  makes  use  of  various  Traffic  Server  management  APIs.  If  traffic_manager is not
       available, the crash log will be incomplete.

       traffic_crashlog may generate a crash log containing information you would rather not share outside  your
       organization. Please examine the crash log carefully before posting it in a public forum.
