Generating SCC system dumps
You can generate, display, and download system dumps under Diagnostics > SCC Dumps: System Dumps. A system dump contains a copy of the kernel data on the system. System dump files can help you diagnose problems in the system.
These options are available to customize the report:
System Dump
Specifies the system dump. Select the check box next to the system dump.
Generate System Dump
Specifies the type of information to include in the report:
• Include Statistics—Select the check box to collect and include CPU, memory, and other statistics in the system dump (this option is enabled by default). The statistics are useful while analyzing traffic patterns to correlate to an issue. The system adds the statistics to a file in the sysdump called stats.tgz.
• Include All Logs—Select the check box to remove the 50 MB limit for compressed log files, to include all logs in the system dump.
Click Generate System Dump to generate the new system dump. System Dumps generates on the selected appliance and displays in the Operations section with a pending status.
Because generating a system dump can take a while, a spinner appears during the system dump creation. When the system dump is complete, it appears in the list of links to download.
