To analyze and diagnose issues, One Identity Support may ask the Appliance Administrator or Operations Administrator to send a support bundle containing system and configuration information.
As an alternative, you can use the Recovery Kiosk to generate and send a support bundle to a Windows share. For more information, see Recovery Kiosk (Serial Kiosk).
Virtual appliance support bundles are generate from the web management console. For more information, see Support Kiosk..
IMPORTANT: User must remain on the page until the bundle is complete. If user refreshes or navigates away from the page the back-end bundle process continues to run to completion, but the pending web request is canceled and the bundle will not be retrievable.
To create a support bundle
-
Navigate to:
web client: Navigate to
Settings |
Appliance | Support Bundle.
desktop client: Administrative Tools | Settings | Appliance | Support Bundle.
- Select Include Event Logs if you want to include operating system events. Unless requested by support, it is recommended to leave this unchecked because it takes much longer to generate the support bundle.
- Select Limit included log files then identify the number of Days for which data should be collected.
- Click Generate Support Bundle.
- Browse to select a location to save the support bundle .zip file and click Save.
- Send the support bundle to One Identity Support. For more information, see About us.
It is the responsibility of the Appliance Administrator to manage the appliance time.
Time displays the current appliance time and allows you to enable Network Time Protocol (NTP) and set the primary and secondary NTP servers. In addition, when enabled, the NTP client status can be displayed. As a best practice, set an NTP server to eliminate possible time-related issues.
While not recommended, you can also set the appliance time on a primary (not cluster) manually.
|
CAUTION: Changing appliance time can result in unintended consequences with processes running on the appliance. For example, there could be a disruption of password check and change profiles and audit log time stamps could be misleading. Do not set the system time before or after the validity period of the Safeguard internal certificates because the appliance will not function. |
Clustered environments
NTP setting changes are made on the primary appliance in a cluster. When a replica appliance is enrolled into the cluster, it points to the primary appliance's VPN IP address as the Primary NTP Server and the NTP client service is enabled on the replica appliance. When performing a failover operation to promote a replica to be the new primary, the Primary NTP Server is preserved and applied from the 'old' primary appliance.
Warnings
The following warnings display if your local time is not within five minutes of the appliance time. One Identity recommends that you set an NTP server to eliminate possible time-related issues.
- Upon log on: Warning: The time associated with Safeguard and your local time are off by 5 or more minutes. Contact the Safeguard administrator to correct this issue before further use.
- On the Settings| Appliance| Time page: The appliance time and your local time have a difference of 5 or more minutes. It is recommended to set an NTP server.
