Many of the captions are links to the proper Setup page.

Logs & Reports

The System Options > Support > Logs & Reports page generates logs and reports useful for system analysis and troubleshooting. If contacting Axis Support, please provide a valid Server Report with your query.

System Log - Provides information about system events.

Access Log - Lists all failed attempts to access the product. The Access Log can also be configured to list all connections to the product (see below).

Server Report - Provides information about the product status in a pop-up window. The Access Log is automatically included in the Server Report.

You can view or download the server report. Downloading the server report creates a .zip file that contains a complete server report text file in UTF–8 format. Select the Include snapshot with default image settings option to include a snapshot of the product’s Live View. The server report .zip file should always be included when contacting support.

Parameter List - Shows the product's parameters and their current settings. This may prove useful when troubleshooting or when contacting Axis Support.

Connection List - Lists all clients that are currently accessing media streams.

Crash Report - Generates an archive with debugging information. The report takes several minutes to generate.

The log levels for the System Log and the Access Log are set under System Options > Support > Logs & Reports > Configuration . The Access Log can be configured to list all connections to the product (select Critical, Warnings & Info).
