Read debug.dat files?

[akahan]

Is there any viewer or application that enables mere mortals (people who are not Synology tech support) to read the debug.dat files that can be generated by the Support Services log generation tool in DSM?

simple - unzip it , cheers
and don't be surprised, why I newer will send such atomic bomb to 3rd party, even to Syno support

Solved - One of Folders from Drive Team folder disappeared and stop sync

Background: DSM last ver: 6.2.3-25426-2 Drive Server last ver: 2.0.2-11078 Team folder contains 8 folders for the Drive services Multi OS Drive clients in operation, also web Drive client Drive desktop clients (Win/Ubuntu) in last ver Behavior: - 7 folders from 8 are running in normal operation...

It's always worth changing the extension to .zip (in case you archive app is fussy) and seeing if it will yield the goods.

On Mac I often drop a file onto BBEdit to see if it gives a folder listing of archived items. e.g. .spk are zipped too.

Well THAT yielded a goldmine. Thanks!

zip or rar or 7zip .... all of them are working
btw:
same way works also for XLSX files
try to rename it to zip and you will see a magic
then just find there /xl/worksheets/*xml files open them in txt editor, find keywords:

<sheetProtection

then erase everything within the:

<sheetProtection ... and next .... />

save the edited XML file(s)
again change the zip extension to XLSX
and password protected sheet(s) XLSX is/are now unprotected. So, what a great security.
