Ondat Support Bundle

Ondat provides the ability to generate a support bundle that aggregates cluster information. See Support Bundle for a list of what is included.

Ondat engineers might ask for a support bundle to be generated during support cases.

The information in the bundle is used only for support purposes, and will be removed once it is no longer needed. If the information is sensitive and can’t be given to Ondat, make sure that the support engineers have as much information about your environment as possible.

Refer to the Support Bundle documentation page for details of how to generate a bundle.
