Diagnostics Page and Options

Diagnostics Page and Options

Downloading Diagnostics Log Files
Deleting a Diagnostics Log File

The options on the Diagnostics page allow you to generate new diagnostics log files that capture the current state of your system (Generate), download diagnostics log files to the local system (Download), or delete existing diagnostics log files (Delete).

 
NOTE: For more information about diagnostics log files, log file directories, and the Diagnostics service, see About The Diagnostics Service.

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. The Diagnostics page identifies each diagnostics log file by the following attributes:

•
File name—in this format, <hostname>_<date>_<time>.lzip, as in this example: acme-sys-19_2012-10-12_13-51-40.lzip
 
NOTE: Diagnostic log file names are limited to 128 characters.
•
Size—in Megabytes (for example, 58.6 MB).
•
Time—timestamp when log file was created (for example, Fri Oct 12 13:51:40 2012).
•
Reason for generation—describes reason log file was generated (for example, [admin-generated]: generated by Administrator).
 
NOTE: Diagnostic reason descriptions are limited to 512 characters, and the descriptions can only be added using the DR Series system CLI.
•
Status—indicates status of log file (for example, Completed).

There are two methods to display the Diagnostics page:

•
Using the Support page (to access the Diagnostics page via the Diagnostics link).
•
Using Support > Diagnostics (to access the Diagnostics page from the navigation panel).

If you have multiple pages of diagnostics log files, you can navigate to another page by using the controls are the foot of the Diagnostics summary table:

•
Click prev or next to move back or forward one page.
•
Double-click the listed page number (adjacent to Goto page).
•
Enter a page number in Goto page, and click Go.
•
Use the scroll bar at the right side of Diagnostics summary table to view all of the diagnostics log files available to display.
 
NOTE: You can also set how many entries you want to display per page in the Diagnostics summary table. In the View per page drop-down list, click 25 or 50 to select the desired number of entries to display.

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. The Diagnostics page identifies each diagnostics log file by the following attribute types:
File name
•
Size
•
Time
•
Reason for generation
•
Status
 
NOTE: When you generate a diagnostics log file bundle, it contains all of the DR Series system information that may be needed when contacting Dell Support for technical assistance.

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 Dell DR Series system hardware.

The diagnostics log file bundle is identical to one created using the DR Series system CLI diagnostics --collect --dset command. System diagnostics information can assist Dell Support when troubleshooting or evaluating your DR Series system.

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

1.
Select Support → Diagnostics in the navigation panel.
The Diagnostics page is displayed, and this page lists all current diagnostics log files.
2.
Click Generate.
A New log file is scheduled dialog is displayed.
3.
To verify that a new diagnostics log file is being generated, check the status of the diagnostics log file by selecting Support → Diagnostics.
The Diagnostics page is displayed, and 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.

 
NOTE: When you generate a diagnostics log file bundle, it contains all of the DR Series system information that may be needed when contacting Dell 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 Dell DR Series system appliance hardware:

•
To collect a DSET log file, use the DR Series system CLI command, diagnostics --collect --dset.
•
To collect the comprehensive DR Series system diagnostics log file bundle (which also includes DSET information), use the DR Series system CLI command, diagnostics --collect.

3.
Download the file to the desired location, depending upon the following:
a.
If accessing the DR Series system GUI from a Linux-based system: click Save File and navigate to a different folder location, define a new file name (or retain the existing file name), and click Save to save the diagnostics log file to a specified folder location.
