You can view and download log files and packet captures that are associated with the Network IPS appliance and translate log file timestamps.

About this task

Navigating in the Network IPS Local Management Interface: Review Analysis and Diagnostics > Downloads > Logs and Packet Captures

Timestamps in log files: Timestamps in log files are stored in UNIX time (the number of seconds elapsed since 00:00:00 on January 1, 1970 UTC). If needed, use a conversion utility to convert UNIX timestamps to a readable time format.
Important: Complete this operation on the appliance.

    Note: The saved log file still exists on the appliance after the file was downloaded.
  2. Use one of the Delete features on the appropriate tab to remove all files that are listed on that tab.
