Step 5 Optionally, check Merged Log to create a single merged log le from the logs collected by this
group.
Note: When you later download a merged log, the collection will include the individual associated
log les in addition to the merged log itself.
Step 6 Optionally, for ICM system logs only, check Include Binary Data. This causes the log le to
include binary data such as memory allocation, buffer size, etc., but may also substantially
increase le size.
Step 7 Optionally, for ICM system logs only, check Use MS Option for Dumplog. This causes dump
log les to include data in millisecond increments, but may also substantially increase le size.
Step 8 Optionally, for CVP 4.0+ logs only, check Collect Only Error Logs. This limits log collection
to error logs.
Step 9 Select one or more log groups to collect logs from.
Step 10 Click the Start Log Collection button. The log collection process begins according to the times
you specied. The amount of time this process takes to complete depends on the number and
size of the logs you requested, as well as the period of the collection that you specied when
you entered a start and end time. You can view collected logs or check the status of requests on
the Log Collections screen.
Note: It is not necessary to remain in-session while a log collection runs. Exiting your Dashboard
session will not terminate a log collection. You can proceed to use other Dashboard Utilities
while a Log Collection runs.
