Save captured data traffic to a file

Data traffic is captured to RAM and when the device reboots, the data is lost. To retain the captured data, first save the data to a file and then upload the file to a PC.

To save captured traffic data to a file, use the analyzer save command:

 

  Command line

  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log into the EX15 local command line as a user with full Admin access rights.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type admin to access the Admin CLI.

  2. Type the following at the Admin CLI prompt:
    > analyzer save filename filename path path
    >

    where:

    • filename is the name of the file that the captured data will be saved to.

    • path is the path and filename to save captured traffic to. If a relative path is provided, /etc/config/analyzer will be used as the root directory for the path and file.

To transfer the file to your PC, see Download captured data to your PC.
