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
 | You must use a file transfer service. Logs files are too big to be send as attachment to email. |
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.
