System information section

"Computer network packets" section

Capturing Network Packets

You can start capturing network packets passing through the network interface.

  1. To start the process, press the Start button.

"Start" button

  1. Reproduce your issue: make a call or perform an action that causes the error or failure.

"Stop" button

The network packets will automatically be saved in the archive MikoPBXLogs_log-tcpdump-XXXXXXXXXX. They should also automatically save in your browser's Downloads folder.

Logs file

If you cannot find the archive in the Downloads folder, you can connect to the PBX via WinSCP and download it from the /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/tmp directory - the file will be log-tcpdump-XXXXXXXXXX.zip.

You can use the search function in WinSCP by entering "log-tcpdump*" in the file name field and specifying the search directory as "/storage"

Download All System Logs

You can download all system logs accumulated on the PBX. To do this, click the Download All System Logs button.

"Download all system logs" button

The system logs will automatically be saved in the archive MikoPBXLogs_log-sys-XXXXXXXXXX.zip. The logs should also automatically save in your browser's Downloads folder. You can also obtain this log archive from the /storage/usbdisk1/mikopbx/tmp directory by connecting to the PBX using WinSCP. The file will be log-sys-XXXXXXXXXX.zip.

Be careful! If there are many calls or heavy network "load" on the PBX, logs can take up a significant amount of disk space.
