Example diagnose wad webcache list

This following command displays the web caching stats for the last 10 minutes of activity. The information displayed is divided into 20 slots and each slot contains stats for 30 seconds:

20 * 30 seconds = 600 seconds = 10 minutes

diagnose wad webcache list 10min web cache history vd=0 period=last 10min

The first 20 slots are for HTTP requests in the last 10 minutes. Each slot of stats has four numbers, which is the total number of HTTP requests, the number of cacheable HTTP requests, the number of HTTP requests that are processed by the web cache (hits), and the number of HTTP requests that are processed without checking the web cache (bypass). There are many reasons that a HTTP request may bypass web cache.

diagnose debug application {wad | wccpd} [<debug_level>]

View or set the debug level for displaying WAN optimization and web cache-related daemon debug messages. Include a <debug_level> to change the debug level. Leave the <debug_level> out to display the current debug level. Default debug level is 0.

diagnose debug application wad [<debug_level>] diagnose debug application wccpd [<debug_level>]

Variable Description
wad Set the debug level for the WAN optimization daemon.
wccpd Set the debug level for the WCCP daemon.

test application wad 2200

diagnose test application wad 2200

The debug level 2200 switches the debug to explicit proxy mode. You have to enter this debug level first. After that you have to type the command again with a different debug level to check the different explicit proxy statistics. To list what each debug level shows, follow these steps in any FortiGate device:

  1. Enable explicit proxy globally and in one interface, to start the wad process. If the wad process is not running, you cannot list the options.
  2. Once the wad process starts, type:

diagnose test application wad 2200 diagnose test application wad ///// Do not type any debug level value to list all the options.

This is the output you will get:

# diagnose test application wad 2200
