Using a Debugger

A debugger can set breakpoints in a plugin. Use a Traffic Server debug build and compile the plugin with the -g option. A debugger can also be used to analyze a core dump. To generate core, set the size limit of the core files in the records.config file to -1 as follows:

CONFIG proxy.config.core_limit INT -1

Debugging Tips:

  • Use a Traffic Server debug version.

  • Use assertions in your plugin (INKAssert/INKReleaseAssert).
