How to Save a Service Report from the A-Class

A Service Report is a detailed report covering the configuration and status of all components of the VTrak A-Class Node. A Tech Support Agent or a Field Applications Engineer will request a Service Report for the purposes of diagnosis and troubleshooting a reported issue.

[Instructions]

1. Access the WebPAM PROe GUI via the assigned static Virtual IP Address.
2. Login as an Administrator or a Super User.

[Default A-Class Credentials]

User Name = administrator
Password = password

3. Navigate to the Administration tab and click on the left column tab Report

4. In the System Report tab, you have the option of selecting All
(includes A-Class, SAN Nodes [Ex30s, E5000], NAS Gateway, and all SAN Clients)

5. Selecting All is ideal for sending Tech Support a full Service Report that collects logs from each peripheral; however, you can also just generate a Service Report by just selecting the VTrak A-Class, SAN Nodes, and All NAS Gateway without the clients. In addition, you can also just select the individual node/device, or NAS Gateway that you want to generate logs for.

Example 1 [Selecting All]

Example 2 [Individual Nodes/Devices with no SAN clients]

6. Click Generate Report(s)

This will generate and a compile a zip file that contains all the relevant log information for Tech Support or for Field Applications Engineering (For escalated cases) to diagnose the issue and provide a solution.

7. Depending on your browser's configuration, you may be prompted where to save the zip file, or the file may be automatically saved to your Downloads folder.

Note: This zip file is password protected and only Promise will be able to extract the contents of this zip file.

[OS-X Safari Users]

Make sure to disable = [Open "safe" files after downloading] before generating a Service Report.

This will prevent Safari from extracting the zip file after the download is completed.
