1.4.2 Retrieve Diagnostics File Button
When you click the Retrieve Diagnostics File button in the Maintenance window, CTC retrieves system
data that can be off-loaded by a Maintenance or higher-level user to a local directory and sent to
Technical Support for troubleshooting purposes. The diagnostics file is in machine language and is not
human-readable, but can be used by Cisco Technical Support for problem analysis. Complete the
following task to off-load the diagnostics file.
Note In addition to the machine-readable diagnostics file, the ONS 15454 also stores an audit trail of all
system events such as user logins, remote logins, configuration, and changes. This audit trail is
considered a record-keeping feature rather than a troubleshooting feature. Information about the feature
is located in the “Maintain the Node” chapter of the Cisco ONS 15454 DWDM Procedure Guide.
