Need to see/understand EXACTLY what NCM is doing on config backup

Hi.

  I have several whitebox switches that are seeing issues with freezing or crashing.  We believe it is due to the amount of times NCM does it's nightly backups (~180 or so days) is causing some type of memory leak or something else.  

I am trying to understand exactly what NCM does for a job that is for backup of running and startup configurations.  I want to write a script to simulate everything and run it much faster  

Example:

NCM ssh to switch on ip 1.2.3.4

NCM sends RESET from template (terminal width 0${CRLF}terminal length 0)

NCM sends Startup from template (show startup-config)

...

NCM send "exit"

NCM closes SSH session

Looking for either a document explaining that specifically, a log file showing each step and the commands it executes, etc..

XML of the device template.

@bfranklin1228, to find out exactly what is being executed you can enable session trace logs using this KB article. One thing of note is that I wouldnt recommend leaving it on for a long period of time, it can cause Jobs to take a really long time or not finish. I usually recommend enabling it to get the info you need and then turn it off immediately after.
