Active Alarms and the Events Log File

174Troubleshooting the NVG

To capture and analyze decrypted SSL traffic sent between a client and a virtual SSL server, type the following command (where you replace "#" with the index number of the desired virtual SSL server):

>># /cfg/ssl/server #/trace/ssldump

To view an alarm that has been triggered and is active, type the following command:

>># /info/events/alarms

In the current software version of the NVG, an alarm is only triggered when a hardware failure in an SSL accelerator card is detected.

To save the events log file to an FTP/TFTP/SFTP server, type the following command:

>># /info/events/download

You need to provide the IP address or host name of the FTP/TFTP/SFTP server, as well as a file name. After the events log file has been saved, connect to the FTP/TFTP/SFTP server and examine the contents of the file.

Error Log Files

Provided you have configured the VPN Gateway to use a Syslog server, the VPN Gateway will send log messages to the specified Syslog server. For more information about how to configure a UNIX Syslog daemon, see the Syslog manpages under UNIX. For more information about how to configure the VPN Gateway to use a Syslog server, see the "Syslog Servers Configuration " section under Configuration Menu>System Configuration in the Command Reference.

Another option is to use the /maint/dumplogs command. It collects system log file information from the VPN Gateway you are connected to (or optionally, all NVGs in the cluster) and sends the information to a file in the gzip compressed tar format on the TFTP/FTP/SFTP server you have specified. The information can then be used for technical support purposes. The file sent to the TFTP/FTP/SFTP server does not contain any sensitive information related to the system configuration, such as certificates, private keys, and so on.
