Now we need to click on the FMC under Appliance section: Now let’s open up the Warning Status section by clicking on the little black arrow: If the FMC had a critical message, we would have found it under the Critical Status section, similar to the other status sections. The one under the Warning section would be the FMC, and the one under Normal Status would be the FTD. In fact, by looking at the Count column, we can see that we have one device under Warning and another under Normal Status. Because of this, the FMC now could be found under the Warning Status section. However, in this case, as you could see from the above screenshot, the FMC has a warning message. In the usual cases you would find the FMC under the Normal Status section. In the Health Monitor screen, we need to click on one of the status sections to find the FMC and then click on it. To do so, we need to log into the FMC through https and then go to System -> Health -> Monitor:

The first example will show you how to download it through the GUI. Now we need to download it to our computer. To redirect the capture to a file, we are going to use the same command as before with the addition of the -w option and the folder path where the capture file will be ls -l /var/common/ | grep. Let’s have a look at the capture redirection and both examples of how we can download the capture file. However, if we want to download the capture through the CLI then we can save the capture wherever we want on the FMC.

If we want to download the capture file through the GUI then we need to use a specific folder in which the capture file will be stored. Packet capture in FMC allows us to do the capture redirection, and also to download the file whether through the GUI or CLI. In those cases we would need to redirect the capture to a file and then download it for further investigation.

However, sometimes the packet capture might be too long for us to be able to analyze it on the terminal efficiently. It would be feasible to troubleshoot some issues directly on the terminal console.
