Collect Logs when you contact us

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 command line knowledge. Just follow the following steps exactly.

Linux

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

---

Step 2. Put the logger.sh script on your server

6KB

logger-4.7.1.sh

Open

• Save the above logger-4.7.1.sh file to your computer and rename it to logger.sh.

• Upload it to your server’s home folder:

  • On Mac/Linux:

    scp logger.sh user@SERVER_IP:~

  • On Windows: use WinSCP (drag and drop) or pscp.

---

Step 3. Allow the script to run

On the server, type:

chmod +x logger.sh

---

Step 4. Run the script

Start the logger:

./logger.sh

The script will run for a minute or two. When finished, it will create this file on your server:

nxai_troubleshooting.tgz

---

Step 5. Copy the log file back to your computer

• On Mac/Linux:

  scp user@SERVER_IP:~/nxai_troubleshooting.tgz .

• On Windows: download the file with WinSCP or pscp.

Step 6. Send it to Support

Attach the file nxai_troubleshooting.tgz to a support ticket at https://support.networkoptix.com
