* record_server_delivery_enabled: This key controls the delivery of records to

This is a 32 character lowercase hexadecimal string i.e. '5de9de8d5f3c6a7d445d75ba01cc3322'.

This header is used to group multiple records by an event id. Before this header
|

every single record could have been thought of an event, however this is not always
|
||||
the case. There are "events" that trigger the creation of multiple records (i.e.
|
||||
updates). The ```event_id``` header was added for probes with the capability to
|
||||
detect events and group records based on such events. This header was added to
|

```telem-record-gen``` and can be specified using the ```-e``` (```--event-id```
|
||||
long form) switch.

Debugging locally with telemetrics-client
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The function of the telemetrics-client is to handle the transport of information
|
||||
reported by a probe to a backend (see ```server``` key in configuration). This
|
||||
information is helpful for developers to debug and fix reported crashes, however
|
||||
developers not always have access to the backend in these case users can leverage
|
||||
features added for local debugging. The following is a list of steps to enable
|
||||
local debug:
|
||||
|
||||
* *Enabling record retention*: this step configures telemd to keep
|
||||
copies of telemetry records locally. To enable record retention set the value of
|
||||
```record_retention_enabled``` from ```false``` to ```true```. Optionally set
|
||||
```record_server_delivery_enabled`` to ```false``` to keep records local only.
|
||||
Remember to restart the daemon after configuration values are updated
|
||||
(```telemctl restart```).
|
||||
|
||||
* *Creating a record*: run ```hprobe``` command to create a record for the purposes
|
||||
of this step by step guide. Once we have the record or records that you need to
|
||||
capture locally you can display the data.
|
||||
|
||||
* *Displaying record metadata*: telemd keeps metadata of any valid record,
|
||||
to display this data a new option to telemctl was added ```telemctl journal```.
|
||||
Assuming that the last record created was the record from previous step `hprobe` we
|
||||
can use `tail -n 1` to print the last created record only, i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ sudo telemctl journal | tail -n 1
|
||||
$ org.clearlinux/hello/world Mon 2018-04-02 17:48:01 UTC a19a0d41ba16788881e274b19b8a1be4 5de9de8d5f3c6a7d445d75ba01cc3322 60c014cd-4693-40f1-b334-548cd932949b
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The headers for the metadata (along with other information) can be printed using the
|
||||
```-V``` switch with ```telemctl journal``` command, i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ sudo telemctl journal -V | head -n 1
|
||||
$ Classification Time stamp Record ID Event ID Boot ID
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* *Displaying record payload*: to print the content of a record payload you can use
|
||||
the ```-i``` (```--include_record``` long format) option to ```telemctl journal```
|
||||
command. To print the specific record you created you can use the option ```-r```
|
||||
(```--record_id``` long format) with the Record Id of the generated record, i.e.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ sudo telemctl journal --record_id a19a0d41ba16788881e274b19b8a1be4 --include_record
