The collect-support-data tool
About this task
PingDataSync servers provide information about their current state and any problems encountered. If a problem occurs, run the collect-support-data
tool in the /bin
directory. The tool aggregates all relevant support files into a .zip
file that can be sent to a support provider for analysis. The tool also runs data collector utilities, such as jps
, jstack
, and jstat
plus other diagnostic tools for the operating system.
The tool might only archive portions of certain log files to conserve space, so that the resulting support archive does not exceed the typical size limits associated with e-mail attachments.
The data collected by the collect-support-data
tool can vary between systems. The data collected includes the configuration directory, summaries and snippets from the logs
directory, an LDIF of the monitor and RootDSE entries, and a list of all files in the server root.
