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, the y 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.
