sudo /opt/pathview/scripts/debugRetrieval.sh

sudo tar czvf ${HOSTNAME}_debug_logs.tar.gz debugOutput

Example:

2. Verify tarball in directory:

Command: ls

Example:

3. MAC/Linux - run scp on local machine to copy tarball from MP to present working directory:

Command: scp admin@<mp-ip/name>:/tmp/debug/<debugoutputfilename>.tar.gz ./

**Windows Users can use WinSCP to move files to local machine**

4. If required - unzip tarball file to present working directory (debugOutput Folder):
