Part 5: Using Support Tools Web Tools

Support Tools Web Tools are a set of Cisco-authored utilities specifically designed for use with the Support Tools. They are installed on all Support Tools nodes.

Many Web Tools can be run either from the Support Tools Dashboard or via command line on an individual node. Command-line access to individual nodes can be local or remote (via methods like TelNet, pcAnywhere, etc.). However, they were primarily designed for Web access through the Dashboard.

All Web Tools allow you to save (to the Repository) and download file images of the data they collect.

Note: Within the Dashboard, the functionality of some Web Tools is distributed among several different screens (pages). For example, Processes and Services utility functionality is divided among a Processes screen and a Services screen.
