Troubleshooting features in Enterprise Reporter

There are several features in Enterprise Reporter to help you solve problems.

Exporting logs from the Configuration Manager

Logs can be used to troubleshoot issues with discoveries. Logs are collected from the Reporter server and all of the nodes within a selected cluster, and zipped into files that can be sent to Quest Support to help resolve certain collection problems. The log files are all sent to the Exported Logs folder on the Reporter server. You may have several different .zip files, which may take some time to appear, depending on your configuration:

2
Click the Manage Logs button and select Export Logs.

Click Export.
6
Click Close.

If you want only the most recent issue to be displayed in the logs, you can delete old logs. This deletes logs from the default server Logs folder as well as from the Exported Logs folder, except for the most recently exported logs. You can delete logs for a selected cluster or you can delete all server logs.

Viewing information about your Enterprise Reporter configuration

Understanding your system setup can be useful when troubleshooting. You can use the Information page to determine where your console, Reporter server and Reporter database are hosted, what port the server is using to communicate, your software version, and other similar information you may find helpful in resolving issues.

On the Navigation pane, click System | Information.

Viewing errors and statistics for tasks

For each task of a discovery, you can view collection options, errors, and statistics. These may be helpful when you experience failed collections, data that does not match your expectations, or when working on performance issues. To display the collection options for a task, hold the mouse over any column of data for that task.For more information, see the Viewing Errors and Viewing Statistics in the Quest Enterprise Reporter Configuration Manager User Guide.
