The 3300 ICP system records diagnostic information about the system performance in a series of files. This diagnostic information includes xrtc, pstswlog.db, hdrwswlog.db logs, call control statistics and other information that can be used to diagnose system problems. Diagnostics information is preserved through power outages and system reboots.
The System Diagnostics form is used to collect and send system diagnostics information. The diagnostics files are collected as a tar file then compressed in gzip format. The filename given to this diagnostic information file is SD_<system name or ID>_<ISO date and time>.tar.gz.
You can download this system diagnostics file to your computer, or send it via FTP or e-mail. You can program automatic e-mail of the diagnostics files if needed (up to 10 times).
Note: We recommend that you collect the system diagnostics information after any unscheduled system reset.
CAUTION: Depending on the amount and type of data being exported, there could be a delay of a few minutes while data is being retrieved from the system database and sent.
While the System Administration Tool is compiling and sending the information, no other users can access any of the web-based tools (5140/5240 IP Phone Online Services, Visual Voice Mail, Desktop Tool, Group Administration Tool, or System Administration Tool), access Visual Voice Mail, or save changes.
Note: To avoid blocking other users, we recommend that you gather system diagnostics information outside of business hours if possible.
