Troubleshooting Tip: Disaster Recovery EMS Linux Log Collection

If a Linux-based EMS v7.4.x server has stopped responding and is not working as expected, run the following one-line Linux command and attach the created all_logs.tar.gz file to the TAC ticket for further investigation.

Since copying and pasting can add additional or hidden characters, the command is also attached to this article as a text file (ems_linux_oneliner_log_collector_v6.zip). This command collects some important log files and a general system status required for troubleshooting issues by the TAC team.

It is important to note that this is a single long command and that all of the lines should therefore be selected, copied, and pasted in one run.
