Statistics Section

Internally, the statistics gathered by the Sensors are stored in a compact file format. It is via

the Download Statistics link that you can retrieve the statistics for each Engine. It is not

recommended that users use this method without Redwood Support.

Actions Section

There are two links that permit you to restart or reboot the Engine. These links perform the

same function as the restart and reboot function from the Action tab under the Options button

.

Logs

The top two links display approximately the final 500 lines of the syslog file and the volcano

log file.

Syslog is a file containing the network and

Linux-based messages.

Volcano.log is the console log that contains

errors and warnings created by the

Redwood Manager software. It isn't

expected that you need to look at these

files, but they are useful for Redwood

Support Team members.

Other

Most of the links in this section are Linux

commands that a Redwood Support Team

member might use to quickly determine the

activity of an Engine.

The final link in this section, Download

Support Data, is VERY important though. It is

a link that executes a set of statistic and log file

gathering tools to generate a single zipped file that is downloaded to your local computer.

Redwood Support uses this file as a way to determine what has happened on the Engine

without the need to connect to the Engine.

Basic Support Info

It may be necessary to determine the IP address or the MAC address of the Engine as part of

a support call.

That type of information is quickly displayed by selecting the only link in this section.
