    Appliance Troubleshooting

    The Appliance CLI comes with troubleshooting commands to help examine logs in order to debug the system.

    Create and Share the Debug Package

    To create and share the debug package:

    Generate the debug package:

    nsappliance> troubleshooting debug-package generate include-coredumps true

    Upload to netskope via http(s):

    nsappliance> troubleshooting debug-package upload

    SCP to another system to provide to Netskope

    nsappliance> scp export debug-package to host <HOST> path <PATH> user <USER>

    Common Problems

    Avoid any traffic decryption: If you are using a network device (i.e. proxy) ensure that the appliance is not subject to SSL interception to avoid issues with tethering or ongoing operations.

    Appliance Not Ready

    "{"error": "Precondition Required: Appliance is not ready", "code": 428 }"

    If this error pops up, there are a variety of reasons:

    • The appliance is not tethered
    • The appliance is not fully initialized
    • The appliance system requirements were not adhered to
    • API token missing

    Troubleshooting Command Reference

    Check the Troubleshooting section of Appliance CLI.
