Introduction

In most cases, TAC needs a set of recent log files from nGeniusONE Server to help troubleshooting problems.

It is recommended to create these log files immediately after the problem has risen and send them to TAC as soon as possible.  

 

Solution

 

 

Using an SSH claint of our choice, login to nGeniusONE Server CLI.

Move to the folder /opt/NetScout/rtm/bin/

# cd /opt/NetScout/rtm/bin

You do not have to stop services to create logs.

Run the script named techsupp.sh with the option norm or html.

  • norm: places compressed logs in /opt/NetScout/rtm/bin 
  • html: places compressed logs in /opt/NetScout/rtm/html and allows them to be downloaded remotely via a web browser by navigating to https://<IP-NGS>:8080/logfiles.html
# ./techsupp.sh norm

Should output:

Gathering log files... This may take a minute. Please wait...

Now remove the archive from the server and send it to TAC.
