Downloading the Console History¶
As soon as a node in a lab is started, CML connects to its consoles. Even if you never connect to the node’s console in the UI, CML records all console messages. You can download a file containing the entire console history for the node since it was first started.
Note
Console history is only available for nodes that have been started at least once.
The console history contains a timestamp prefix and may contain control characters. To see the console output as it would normally be displayed in the Workbench’s Panes pane, you would need to send the text through a terminal emulator.
The console history is also available via the CML APIs.
Procedure
In the Workbench, right-click the node for which you want to open a console.
The Node right-click menu is opened.
Click the Console menu item.
The node’s Console tab in the Panes pane is opened.
Right-click the Console tab’s title bar.
The Console menu is opened.
Select Download Console Log menu item.
The web browser downloads a complete history for the selected node’s console.
