With the Support Wizard in the IGEL Universal Management Suite (UMS), you can collect the log files which are important for your support case and send them via e-mail to IGEL Support. 

The Support Wizard saves log files from the UMS Server and UMS Console as well as profiles and associated firmware information for the selected devices in a ZIP file. If IGEL Cloud Gateway (ICG) is in use, log files from the connected ICGs and the basic information of the used ICG certificates will also be saved. If the IGEL Management Interface (IMI) extension is used, its API log file will be saved too. In the case of performance logging (to be activated only upon recommendation of IGEL Support; see (12.06.110-en) Logging in the IGEL UMS ), monitoring data for the UMS Server and UMS Load Balancer will be collected too.

In order to send log files using the Support Wizard, the mail settings must be correct; further information can be found under (12.06.110-en) Mail Settings . The support ID must also be valid.
