Use a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, connect
to the WildFire appliance using either a secure shell connection
(SSH) or a physical direct serial connection from a serial interface
on your management computer to the Console port on the device.
Launch the terminal emulation software and select
the type of connection (Serial or SSH).
To establish an SSH connection, enter the WildFire
hostname or IP address of the device you want to connect to and
set the port to
22
.
To establish a Serial connection, connect a serial interface
on management computer to the Console port on the device. Configure
the Serial connection settings in the terminal emulation software
as follows:
Data rate:
9600
Data bits:
8
Parity:
none
Stop bits:
1
Flow control:
none
When prompted to log in, enter your administrative credentials.
On a WildFire appliance, enter the following command:
admin@WF-500>show log system subtype direction equal backward
This
command displays all WildFire logged events categorized as a wildfire-appliance
subtype from oldest to newest.
You can reverse the
display of the logs to newest to oldest by adding the command argument
direction equal backward
.
The log messages returned by the WildFire appliance CLI can
include numerous subtypes. You can filter the logs based on a common
keyword. Use the following command argument to filter based on a
specific string:
