Introduction
This Support Tool is to make it as simple as possible to collect relevant files and data that are used by support to review, analyze, and provide support feedback. The support tool retrieves files and data from the backend and provides the download in your browser so that users do not need to log in to the server to collect these files
 
The Support Tool was introduced in version 5.5.16
 
Security
Only accounts that have the User Console management role can access this page and download the relevant files and data. A limited set of file extensions and SQL statements are allowed.
 
Usage
There are 2 options you can select Standard & Advanced. 
 
By default, the support tool collects the User Console logs, IIS logs, and User Console configuration files. The files are collected and compressed in archive (.zip) format. Large logs take more time; for example, it takes about 10 minutes for 1GB logs.
