This article explains how to extract the logs from NSX-T Edge nodes from CLI. Let's view the steps involved: 1) Login to NSX-T  Edge node using CLI from admin credentials. 2) Use of  " get support-bundle " for Log extraction. get support-bundle command will extract the complete logs from NSX-T manager/Edge nodes. nsx-manager-1> get support-bundle file support-bundle.tgz 3) Last step is to us e of " copy file support-bundle.tgz url " command. copy file will forward your collected logs from the NSX-T manager to the destination(URL) host from where you can download the logs. copy file support.bundle.tgz url scp://root@192.168.11.15/tmp Here, the URL specified is the ESXi host ( 192.168.11.15) under /tmp partition where logs will be copied and from there one can extract it for further log review. Happy Learning.  :)
