  1. Connect to the Log Decoder via SSH as the root user.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the feeds are stored.
    cd /etc/netwitness/ng/feeds/

  3. Use the NwConsole utility to dump the custom feed contents.
    Note: Each time output file name should be different when running NwConsole command.
    NwConsole -c feed dump <feed_file_name> <output_file_name>

  4. Use the cat command to display the contents of the feed.
