SSH Tracing

SSH tracing helps you to debug SSH protocol and SSH Transfer issues. SSH Tracing must be enabled only at the direction of TIBCO Technical Support. There are two types of SSH Tracing:

SSH Tracing Description
SSH Client

Traces SSH connections when MFT is acting as an SSH client and connecting to target SSH servers.
SSH Server Traces SSH connections when SSH clients connect to the MFT SSH server.

To enable SSH tracing, complete the following steps.

    Procedure
  1. Go to Configuration > System Configuration.
  2. Click the Server Settings tab.

  3. Select the MFT host where you want to enable SSH tracing.

  4. Click SSH Client or SSH Server tracing as needed.

    We do not recommend tracing both client and server at the same time, since it produces a lot of trace entries.

  5. Set the SSH Trace Level to All Messages.

  6. All trace data is written to file: <MFT-Install>/server/logs/catalina.out

Note: When enabling SSH tracing, try to do it for as short a period as possible. SSH tracing traces all SSH Client and or server requests and can produce a log of output. If possible, try to reproduce the problem on a test system so that the ssh trace data is limited.
