A new command for Interfaces debugging
Closed, ResolvedPublicFEATURE REQUEST

Description

Often you have to collect logs to analyze interfaces and errors. I propose to consider a command for extended collection of logs from all interfaces of the router.

generate_packetdrops_debug_archive.xml.in

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<interfaceDefinition>
  <node name="generate">
    <children>
      <node name="packetdrops">

            </properties>
            <command>${vyos_op_scripts_dir}/generate_packetdrops_debug_archive.py</command>
