# Dump Debug Log Dumps encoded firmware debug logs from specified persistent memory modules and optionally decodes to human readable text. ``` ipmctl dump [OPTIONS] -destination (file_prefix) [-dict (file)] -debug -dimm (DimmIDs) [PROPERTIES] ``` ## **Targets** * `-destination (file_prefix)`: The command will create files that use the given filename as a prefix and append the DIMM UID, DIMM handle, debug log source, and the appropriate file type (.bin for encoded logs, .txt for decoded logs) onto the end. > file\_prefix\_Uid\_Handle\_logsource.\[bin,txt] * `-dict (path)`: Optional file path to the dictionary file. If supplied, the command will create both the binary debug log and a text file with decoded log data with the file prefix specified by destination. * `-dimm (DimmIDs)`: Dumps the debug logs from the specified modules. ## **Examples** Dump and decode the debug log from persistent memory modules 0x0001 and 0x0011 using the dictionary file. ``` $ sudo ipmctl dump -destination file_prefix -dict nlog_dict.txt -debug -dimm 0x0001,0x0011 ``` ## **Sample Output** ``` Dumped media FW debug logs to file (file_prefix_8089-A1-1816-00000016_0x0001_media.bin) Decoded 456 records to file (file_prefix_8089-A1-1816-00000016_0x0001_media.txt) No spi FW debug logs found ``` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
