Understanding diagnostics collection

Understanding diagnostics collection

The Diagnostics service in the DR Series system lets you collect and manage your system’s diagnostic log file bundles. The Diagnostics service works by collecting all the system-related information that could help when diagnosing a problem or error condition in the system. Each diagnostic log file bundle provides:

Diagnostics runs as a service during system startup, and this process listens for incoming requests. There are two modes in which the diagnostics collection process is started:

Admin-Generated mode: when a DR Series system CLI or DR Series system GUI request is made by the administrator (and the default reason that is listed is admin-generated).
Auto-Generated mode: when a process or service failure is reported, the DR Series system starts collecting system-related information. After it completes the auto-generated collection, it generates a system event.

When the diagnostics log directory exceeds the maximum storage capacity, any log older than one hour is automatically deleted. The DR Series system GUI lets you download and save diagnostics log files to other systems on your network. The DR Series system also maintains a separate archive logs directory that collects other system-related information, and these archive logs are also automatically deleted when they exceed a maximum capacity. When you generate a diagnostics log file bundle, it contains all of the DR Series system information that you need when contacting Technical Support for technical assistance. The diagnostics log file bundle collects the same type of hardware, storage, and operating system information that is collected when using the Dell System E-Support Tool (DSET) and the DR Series system CLI commands (diagnostics --collect --dset). When a diagnostics log file bundle is generated, this process also collects all the previous auto-generated diagnostics and deletes them from the system.

The Diagnostics service collection process observes the following guidelines:

The DR Series system GUI provides options to display existing diagnostics logs, generate new diagnostics logs, download and save copies of existing diagnostics logs, or delete existing diagnostics logs. The DR Series system CLI also provides the means for managing, generating, or downloading the diagnostics log files. For more information, see the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.

Generating a diagnostics log file

Generating a diagnostics log file

A DR Series diagnostics log file is a bundle that contains a variety of file types that record the latest system settings, and saves them in a compressed .lzip file format. When you generate a diagnostics log file bundle, it contains all of the DR Series system information that may be needed when contacting Technical Support for technical assistance. This also includes all the previous auto-generated diagnostics log files, which are then deleted from the DR Series system. The diagnostics log file bundle collects the same type of hardware, storage, and operating system information collected by the Dell System E-Support Tool (DSET) from the DR Series system appliance hardware:

To generate a diagnostics log file bundle for your system, complete the following steps:

1.
The Diagnostics page is displayed, and this page lists all current diagnostics log files.
A status showing In-progress indicates that a new diagnostics log file is being generated.

Once completed, the new diagnostics log file resides at the top of the File Name column in the table. To verify, check its timestamp (using its date and time), to ensure this is the latest diagnostics file created.

Downloading diagnostics log files

Downloading diagnostics log files

1.
Select Support > Diagnostics.
The Diagnostics page is displayed.
2.
Click Select to select the diagnostics file you want to delete, and click Delete.
The Delete Confirmation dialog is displayed.
3.
