Hi Anil,

The comment you’re looking applies to NS-3 logger, which suppose to be used only in debug mode to debug the simulation model and/or scenarios.

Answering to your original question.  The post you mentioned refer to different scenario (ndn-tree-tracers), which actually uses tracers.  ndn-grid-topo-plugin-loss scenario was aimed to demonstrate how to set up loss and does not have any tracers in there.  If you want, you can add tracers yourself, e.g., add

  ndn::L3AggregateTracer::InstallAll ("aggregate-trace.txt", Seconds (0.5));
  ndn::L3RateTracer::InstallAll ("rate-trace.txt", Seconds (0.5));


before Simulator::Run();

This should produce two txt files.  Without these or some other tracers, your simulation scenario is running, but not producing anything useful.
