Cause

Sometimes it's needed to track XML-RPC calls which are sent by PSA to some external system (like PBA, SiteBuilder, ZKM, COMET, ODIN, etc) or back.

Resolution

Run tcpdump on POA MN with following options:

tcpdump -pnXs0 host <external.system.ip.address> -w out.file
or
tcpdump -pnXs0 -i <iface> host <external.system.ip.address> -w out.file
in case you have to specify an interface.

After you captured required packets, check output in out.file.
