DXinfo Tool—Collect System Information

DXinfo collects information about your system and saves this information in a file. You can then send this file to CA to help our support staff with any problems you are having.

Output from DXinfo might contain sensitive information. To avoid having this information sent to CA, you can do the following:

• Specify which information you do not want collated.
• Edit the files after they have been collated, to remove sensitive information.

This command has the following format:

dxinfo [-f filename] [-x info-list] [-v] [-a foldername][-?]

• -f filename

  Specify the file name for the system information. If you do not specify a file name, DXinfo stores the information in etrdir_dxinfo.log.

• -x info-list

  Comma-separated list of information to be excluded, as follows:

  • logs – Exclude the log files
  • config – Exclude the configuration files
  • sysdata – Exclude system information
• -v

  Runs in verbose mode.

• -a foldername

  Specifies that you want to collect an additional folder that contains the files you want to send to the CA support site.

• -?
