Troubleshooting for Administrators

Troubleshooting for Administrators

This Troubleshooting section is intended to provide technical support for Administrators of the Xibo system. The Administration Documentation provides detailed information with regards to installation and configuration of the Xibo system, which we would advise Administrators to be familiar with before seeking further resolutions.

Audit Log

The CMS has a dedicated page to view User and System Task activity within areas of the CMS. Use the left hand menu and select Audit Trail to find out more.

CMS error log

The CMS has a central “error log” which collects messages from all components in the platform - CMS, Players, API, Maintenance, etc and so is a valuable resource when investigating issues.

CMS logging can be provided from the Report Fault page located under the Advanced section of the main menu.

Click on Start to be taken through the fault wizard which will guide you through the steps to collect and download a troubleshoot.zip file.

Take a look at our How to record logs for a CMS issue using Report Fault guide.

Providing relevant information from the error log is often the key to a support representative finding the solution to any problems!
