2. The appliance generates a compressed file of the audit logs and downloads it to your local
computer.
The compressed file is named following this format:
audit-logs-yyyy_mm_dd-hh_mm_ss
yyyy_mm_dd indicates the date, and hh_mm_ss indicates the time the file was created. The
name of the audit log file is displayed on the screen.
The audit log file is downloaded to the default download folder. If no default download folder
is configured in your browser, you are prompted to specify a destination file.
Create a support dump file
NOTE: This procedure creates a support dump for the base appliance only.
Some error messages recommend that you create a support dump of the appliance and send it to
an authorized support representative for analysis. The support dump process performs the following
functions:
• Deletes any existing support dump file
• Gathers logs and other information required for debugging
• Creates a compressed file with a name in the following format:
hostname-CI-timestamp.sdmp
Unless you specify otherwise, all data in the support dump file is encrypted so that only an
authorized support representative can access it.
You can choose not to encrypt the support dump file if you have an onsite, authorized support
representative or if your environment prohibits outside connections. You can also validate the
contents of the support dump file and verify that it does not contain sensitive data such as passwords.
The support dump file is a gzip of a tar file. Renaming your support dump to have a .tar.gz
or .tgz extension can make it easier to examine the contents.
IMPORTANT: If the appliance is in an error state, you can still create an encrypted support dump
file without logging in or other authentication.
The support dump file contains the following:
• Operating system logs
• Product logs
• The results of certain operating system and product-related commands
For issues regarding virtual machine instance creation and deployment, gather the following files
created on the compute nodes:
• /var/log/nova/*
• /var/log/isc/*
• /var/log/libvirt/*
• /etc/libvirt/*
Items logged in the support dump file are recorded according to UTC time.
Prerequisites
