Feature Description

The CLI syntax for the tac-debug-pkg has been enhanced to improve ease of use.

Previously, the command syntax required a user to specify a time period by entering from and to criteria. The tac-debug-pkg create and tac-debug-pkg delete commands now allows users to specify the duration relative to the current time using the last keyword:

tac-debug-pkg create last <time_to_now> 
tac-debug-pkg delete last <time_to_now> 

<time_to_now> specifies the time to now in terms of the number of:

  • Days – Expressed as “D”, “d”, or “day”; for example “5D”

  • Hours – Expressed as “H”, “h”, or “hour”; for example “3h”

  • Minutes – Expressed as “M”, “m”, “min”, or “minute”; for example “18minute”

  • Seconds - Expressed as “S”, “s”, “sec”, or “second”; for example “3600sec”

Additionally, omitting the to keyword from the from parameter instructs the system to collect the TAC package from the specified time until now:

tac-debug-pkg create from <time_to_now> 

The FROM keyword no longer requires the use of the TO keyword if you are creating the TAC package from a specific time until now.

Usage examples:

User Intention Command
collect tac-debug-package for last 50 seconds
tac-debug-pkg create last 50S 
collect tac-debug-package for last 10 minutes
tac-debug-pkg create last 10min 
collect tac-debug-package for last 3 hours
tac-debug-pkg create last 3H 
collect tac-debug-package for last 7 days
tac-debug-pkg create last 7day 
delete all collected tac-debug-package for the past 2 days
tac-debug-pkg delete last 2 
collect tac-debug-package from 2019-08-09_01:00:00 to now
tac-debug-pkg create from 2019-08-09_01:00:00
