The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Index Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q288405

SUMMARY

To obtain debug output from Index Server, follow these steps:
  1. Install the "checked" (chk) build of Index Server.

    The chk build has the cidbg flag set.
  2. Use a debugger to attach to Cisvc.exe.
  3. In the debugger, set the values of vqinfolevel and ciinfolevel to generate the appropriate output. For example:
    • ed query!vqinfolevel ffffffff
    • ed query!ciinfolevel ffffffff
    If you set the values to ffffffff, you will receive all available debug output.

MORE INFORMATION

To reduce the amount of debug output, use the following values for vqinfolevel or ciinfolevel:
  • DEB_ERROR 0x00000001 // exported error paths
  • DEB_WARN 0x00000002 // exported warnings
  • DEB_TRACE 0x00000004 // exported trace messages
  • DEB_IERROR 0x00000100 // internal error paths
  • DEB_IWARN 0x00000200 // internal warnings
  • DEB_ITRACE 0x00000400 // internal trace messages
