Issue/Introduction

Need to get PCAP from reporter to troubleshoot issue.  

Environment

Release : Reporter 10.X and above 

Component :Local FTP

The pcap files needs to uploaded to FTP , We can use reporters local FTP.

Check if local FTP is enable, If yes you will need user/password for that FTP user.

<>

Run command – 


pcap transfer ftp:// <reporter IP> /db_backups/pcap.pcap ftp ftp

db_backups is a directory for DB backup in repoter , But you can use any other directory on reporter.

Use FileZilla / WinSCP to download the file. 

Additional Information

You might encounter an issue where running the command - "ftp transfer" might result in an error below:

"% failed Internal error"

This is because the proxy setting is enabled and Reporter seems to be trying to connect externally.

Disable the proxy setting and it will resolve the issue.
