About the Diagnostics Service

The Diagnostics service in the DR Series system lets you display, collect, and manage your system's diagnostic log file
bundles. Each diagnostic log file bundle provides:
• A current snapshot of system operations
• System-related information that assists in understanding system operations
• A record of system operations in case Dell Support needs to provide technical assistance
To access this functionality, use the following DR Series system navigation panel GUI option:
• Support → Diagnostics
The Diagnostics service works by collecting all the system-related information that could help when diagnosing a
problem or error condition in the system.
For more information about diagnostics log file bundles, see
Diagnostics runs as a service during system startup, and this process listens for incoming requests. There are two
modes in which the diagnostics collection process is started:
• Admin-Generated mode: when a DR Series system CLI or DR Series system GUI request is made by the
administrator (and the default reason that is listed is admin-generated).
• Auto-Generated mode: when a process or service failure is reported, the DR Series system starts collecting
system-related information. After it completes the auto-generated collection, it generates a system event.
When the diagnostics log directory exceeds the maximum storage capacity, any log older than one hour is automatically
deleted. The DR Series system GUI lets you download and save diagnostics log files to other systems on your network.
The DR Series system also maintains a separate archive logs directory that collects other system-related information,
and these archive logs are also automatically deleted when they exceed a maximum capacity.
