BIGIP 11.1 - Qkview or Tech.out file directory location

Hi Guys,   I am studying for the 201 and I would like to know where can I locate the Qkview ouput once it is done. When Qkview is executed via WebGUI or command line, where can I find the file? ...

Hi @shaggy, Thanks for your answer. I am running the v11.1 and the output to that is a little different. The extension is .tgz and not Qkview. The directory it shows is the /var/tmp directory and the name of the file. Isn't this file stored anywhere else in the BIG-IP?

 

Code [root@bigip1:Active] config  qkview

    the .qkview is a tgz archive with a different extension. I'm not sure when F5 changed it, but you can tar -xvf filename.qkview just as you would a .tgz file

    technically /var/tmp is a link to /shared/tmp. I don't see any other places where ".qkview" exists when doing a find in bash
