Debug & Logs

Debug continuously displays new events that occur in Web Port and are by default not stored. Some functions will automatically stream to the debug log, while debug mode must be activated for e.g. devices and nodes.

Information:

To clear logs, click CLEAR LOG in the toolsbar. Confirm in the dialog that opens to complete.
When a log is cleared, an entry is made in the system log noting the date/time and which user performed the cleaning.

Information:

Under Debug settings it is possible to activate the following:

• Debug web server activates logging of metadata for transactions to the web server.
• Log to file saved the debug log to local file until the set end date.
• Under Manage log files you can download and remove saved log files.

Information:

Under Packet capture in the toolbar you can activate the following:

• Log network packets saved all network traffic for chosen network interface in pcap format which can e.g. be opened in Wireshark.
  Note, this information is not shown in the debug log.
• To activate, chose end date/time under ”End logging” and click Start.
• To finish ongoing loggin, click stop.

NOTE! Logging network packages requires installation of Npcap (https://nmap.org/npcap/) with the setting ”Install Npcap in WinPcap API-compatible Mode” activated.
