If our troubleshooting guide and our support pages do not resolve your issue, and you need to contact Network Optix Support, please send us a log package from your server. Don’t worry, you don’t need advanced Linux knowledge. Just follow the following steps exactly.

Step 1. Log in to your server

• Open a terminal (Mac/Linux) or PuTTY (Windows).

• Connect using the login details we gave you. For example:

ssh user@SERVER_IP

logger.sh

Open

• Save the above logger.sh file to your computer.

• Upload it to your server’s home folder:

  • On Mac/Linux:

    scp logger.sh user@SERVER_IP:~

Step 3. Allow the script to run

On the server, type:

chmod +x logger.sh
