How to trace Oralce Data Gaurd

Data Guard Broker (DGMGRL) can connect to database using following options:

-echo
-silent
-xml
-debug
-logfile

So if I need to run dgmgrl command in debug mode I would execute following :

dgmgrl -debug / or

-bash-3.2$ dgmgrl -debug sys/secret@test

DGMGRL for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production

Welcome to DGMGRL, type "help" for information.

[W000 01/05 12:27:03.85] Executing query [select dbms_drs.dg_broker_info('VERSION') from dual].

Connected.
or dgmgrl -debug / shutdown command will shutdown instance ,generate trace file and then exit.

If Data Guard Broker is used then tracing can be enabled using DGMGRL command
and setting property LogArchiveTrace to value other than 0.

/** Tracing primary site **/

DGMGRL> edit database ‘primary_db_name’ set property LogArchiveTrace=’1′;

/** Tracing standby site **/

DGMGRL> edit database ‘standby_db_name’ set property LogArchiveTrace=’1′;

Also this parameter can be set by issueing a SQL statement :

SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET LOG_ARCHIVE_TRACE=1;

Values are described in table bellow:
