Downloading a cluster-wide support bundle is necessary only if requested by VMware Support Services. You can create the bundle either statically, which uses disk space on the node, or by streaming, which uses no disk space on the node and stores the bundle on your initiating machine by default.

Verify that you are logged in to the vRealize Log Insight web user interface as a user with the Edit Admin permission. The URL format is https://log-insight-host, where log-insight-host is the IP address or host name of the vRealize Log Insight virtual appliance.

Procedure

Click the configuration drop-down menu icon and select Administration.
Under Management, click Cluster.
Under the Support header, click Download Support Bundle.
The vRealize Log Insight system collects the diagnostic information and sends the data to your browser in a compressed tarball.
Choose the method to create the bundle.
- Select Static support bundle to create a bundle locally. Creation of the bundle consumes disk space on the node.
- Select Streaming support bundle to start streaming the support bundle immediately. This method uses no disk space on the node.
Click Continue.
In the File Download dialog box, click Save.
Select a location to which you want to save the tarball archive and click Save.

You can review the contents of log files for error messages. When you resolve or close issues, delete the outdated support bundle to save disk space.
