# Troubleshoot your installation

Once Cortex XSOAR is installed, if you have issues with the installation you can perform troubleshooting tasks from the textual UI, for example:

* View logs and download log bundles.
* Open a support session for troubleshooting.
* Upload your license to the textual UI.
* Gracefully shut down Cortex XSOAR.

#### How to access the textual UI menu

To access the textual UI menu, log in from the VM web console or from an external terminal using the `ssh admin@<server ip address>` command to SSH log in.

### Important

If you lose the SSH password, you cannot recover or change it. To use SSH you will need to redeploy the VM.
{% endhint %}

For example:

The textual UI menu opens with all the configuration and maintenance options.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xsoar-8-on-prem/8.8/onboard-cortex-xsoar/cortex-xsoar-installation/troubleshoot-your-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
