Command History
Usage Guidelines Binary tech support is a log-collecting framework that collects logs internally from all Cisco NX-OS
processes that are running on the device. The show tech-support all binary command collects logs from
across the entire device, including VDCs, and line cards. The logs are saved under one tarball that can
be easily transferred for later analysis.
Binary tech support can either be parsed within the device or moved to an external log server where it
can be parsed offline. The tool that is used to parse the logs is called DeBlogger. If a line card fails during
the log collection, binary tech support continues to collect logs from all remaining line cards and VDCs.
Note The output filename is automatically generated and cannot be chosen.
This command does not require a license.
Examples This example shows how to collect logs from across the entire device:
switch(config)# show tech-support all binary bootflash:
bootflash: Specifies bootflash as the destination file system used to save the binary
output.
logflash: Specifies logflash as the destination file system used to save the binary
output.
slot0: Specifies slot0 as the destination file system used to save the binary output.
