Diagnostic logging
tool (
Maintenance > Diagnostics > Diagnostic logging

troubleshooting system issues.
It allows you to generate a diagnostic log of system activity over a period of time, and then to download the
log so that it can be sent to your Cisco customer support representative. You can also take and subsequently
download a tcpdump while logging is in progress.

The VCS continually logs all system activity to a unified log file. The diagnostic logging facility works by
extracting a portion of this unified log. On busy systems the unified log file may become full over time and
will discard historic log data so that it can continue logging current activity. This means that all or part of
your diagnostic log could be overwritten. The system will warn you if you attempt to download a partial
diagnostic log file.
