Linux-based IP Office servers can store their own Syslog monitor records by using the destination 127.0.0.1. When doing this, you can download the records from the server's web management menus.
  1. Using a browser, login to the server's web management menus.
  2. Click SolutionSolution.
  3. Click on the icon next to the required server and select Platform View.
  4. Select Log and then click Download.
  5. Click Create Archive in the Logs section. The button remains greyed out while the server creates an compressed archive file for each of the different types of log files it is storing. Each file contains all the logs that have not been previously archived.
  6. The Syslog monitor file is prefixed with sysmon_logs followed by the date and time.
  7. To download the file, click on the file name and follow the normal download options for your browser.
  8. To extract the System Monitor Syslog files:
  9. Open the sysmon_logs tar.gz file using a suitable tool such as 7-Zip.
  10. Browse to the required folder. The default is the 127.0.0.1 folder.
  11. Extract the individual .zip files to your PC.
Next steps
