Prepare the Generated Data to Be Sent to Micro Focus Customer Support Service

The Micro Focus Customer Support Service might ask you to gather and send the data they need to resolve a technical issue. Since UCMDB operates in large network environments, the data sometimes may be difficult to gather. The UCMDB LogGrabber is a tool for collecting and packaging log data. The methods to use the LogGrabber tool are described below.
