The Collect.txt Log

Overview

One of the first things you can do is open the collect.txt file and look at the commands used to collect all the various logs, files, and output. This is a good place to start if you can't remember what command gets you the output on the live system that you want.

 


Purpose

The collect.txt file includes high-level information about the system and its components, including the system serial number, host name, and code version. This file is useful for quickly verifying the system's configuration. It also lists the location of the logs being collected.

 

Open the sample collect.txt file from a DXi6520 system.

 

Note: Some editing programs in Windows may display the CR and LF characters in the file as if they were text when you click on the link above, making the file unreadable. Use a program that supports formatting, such as  Notepad++ or WordPad.
