Tech Support
The NAM syslog records NAM system alerts that contain event descriptions and date and time stamps,
indicating unexpected or potentially noteworthy conditions. This feature generates a potentially
extensive display of the results of various internal system troubleshooting commands and system logs.
This information is unlikely to be meaningful to the average user. It is intended to be used by the Cisco
TAC for debugging purposes. You are not expected to understand this information; instead, you should
save the information and attach it to an email message to the Cisco TAC.
Before you can view the Tech-Support page, you must enable the System Config user privilege on the
Administration > Users > Local Database page. For more information on editing user privileges, see
Editing a User, page 5-18.
Note You can also view this information from the NAM CLI. For information on using the NAM CLI, see
Cisco Network Analysis Module Command Reference, for NME-NAM devices, the Network Analysis
Module (NME-NAM) feature module.
To view tech support:
