3.2 Overview of data acquisition settings
For certain materials required for troubleshooting, you need to specify collection of the material before starting the operations. For example, if you do not make settings in advance for collecting material, you cannot acquire the statistical information of the OS, user dumps (in Windows) or core dumps (in UNIX), or GC log of JavaVM. Hitachi recommends that you obtain this data because it is required for troubleshooting.
If the material can be collected with default settings, specific settings are not required, however, if you want to change the log output destination and size, edit the Easy Setup definition file and user definition file to change the settings.
The following table describes handling of the data required for troubleshooting, data that require in advance settings, and the data for which you must change the settings.
