Download Troubleshooting Files

You can use the Operations Console to download logs and reports to use for troubleshooting. Since these log files are not included in the product backup, you can archive them by periodically downloading them.

The log files are bundled into a .zip file for downloading. RSA Customer Support may ask to see the .zip file for troubleshooting. This .zip file contains sensitive information about hosts file, IP address, database schemas, and so on. The .zip file is password-protected. Use the latest version of Winzip to view the contents of the .zip archive file.

Note:  If you do not want to share a log containing sensitive information, delete it before making the .zip archive file available to RSA Customer Support. Do not share the .zip archive file with non-RSA personnel.
