Eclipse Debuging Tips

Debugging punch command line tools

Here is how to debug channelctl, punchlinectl and the others. You must have imported the pp-grok and pp-core maven folders into your eclipse.

From there locate the org.thales.punch.cli.punchctl.PunchCtl class. There debug the main function: Debug As -> Java Application. It will not work but it will create a debug environment for that package and class.

From there open Debug Preferences and do the following : - add the argument you need : for example : "--tenant mytenant start --channel elastalert" - add the environment variables as part of your debug configuration - add the Jvm options :

    -Xmx2g -Xms256m
    -Dlog4j.configuration=file://${PUNCHPLATFORM_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/log4j2.properties
    -Dlog4j.configurationFile=${PUNCHPLATFORM_INSTALL_DIR}/bin/log4j2.xml
    -Dpunchplatform.log.dir=${PUNCHPLATFORM_LOG_DIR}
    -Dlogfile.name=punchctl

Info

To get the value of the PUNCHPLATFORM_INSTALL_DIR and PUNCHPLATFORM_LOG_DIR of your platform simply type in punchplatform-env.sh.
