The Diagnostics tab displays a listing of log files stored locally on the Ribbon SBC 2000, SBC 1000 v2 equipped with eUSB, and SBC SWe Lite file systems. Ribbon System logs can record every internal and external action the systems perform, including user visible actions (such as placing calls), as well as internal parsing and messaging operations. The actual level of logging detail is configurable by Setting the Local Log Level.
Locally stored log files can be directly viewed from the Ribbon Web interface. To do so, simply click the expand ( ) icon next to the log file you wish to preview the log in place, or click the popup ( ) icon to preview in a separate window.
Previewing logs files larger than 2 Megabytes is not recommended as this may slow down your browser. Please consider downloading the logs instead.
To download a copy of any local log file (or Web Access/Error log), simply click the Download button located under the Actions column.
Aside from automatic log rotation, you can directly rotate the current webui.log from memory to disk from the Ribbon SBC 2000, SBC 1000 v2 equipped with eUSB, and SBC SWe Lite Web interface. To do so, click the Rotate button located under the Actions column.
Note that the system can store up to 6 local log files. When rotating the current log file, the 6th local log file on disk is deleted to make way for the newly rotated file.
Local logging is supported on SBC 2000, SBC 1000 v2, and SWe Lite models.

nvwebui_<timestamp>.log
where <timestamp>

Web Access and Web Error Logs are supported on all SBC Edge models (SBC 1000/2000 and SBC SWe Lite).
The Ribbon SBC Edge system keeps exclusive tracking of the internal and external actions strictly having to do with the system's Web Server. The Web Server on the SBC Edge is responsible for serving requests to and from the Web Interface and the REST API. These logs are typically used only when troubleshooting issues with the SBC Edge that do not have to do with telephony traffic.
Similarly to the Local logging facility, the automatic log rotation rules applies, and user are able to Preview, Download, and Rotate those files.

The System Vitals Log contains system statistics crucial for understanding the overall health of the system. The SBC retains the current system vitals log, plus the previous five archived as tar.gz files. When a new current file is generated the oldest archive is rotated out of the list.
Each file, current and archived, is downloadable from the WebUI.
