VMware technicians request diagnostic information from you when a support request is addressed. This diagnostic information contains product specific logs and configuration files from the host on which the product is run. This information is gathered using a specific script or tool within the product.

Note: Collecting diagnostic information is the same as collecting or gathering log files.

This article provides procedures for obtaining diagnostic information for all VMware products.

The diagnostic information obtained by using this article is uploaded to VMware Technical Support. To properly identify your information, you need to use the Support Request (SR) number you receive when you create the new SR.
