Which data am I collecting?

The Collect All Support Data option provides an automated way to collect data for remote troubleshooting and analysis of problems with the storage management software. All of the files that are gathered are compressed into a single archive in a zipped file format. You can then send the archive to a representative for troubleshooting and further analysis.

The table shows the types of data that are gathered by this operation.
