8.4 Reviewing Panic Snapshots
Refer to the Panic Snapshots screen for an overview of the panic files available. Typically, panic files refer to switch
events interpreted as critical conditions (and thus requiring prompt attention). Use the information displayed within the
screen to make informed decisions whether a target file should be discarded or transferred to a secure location for
permanent archive.
To review the current panic snapshots on the switch:
1. Select Diagnostics > Panic Snapshots from the main menu.
2. Refer to the following table headings within the Panic Snapshots screen:
3. Refer to the Preview field for panic information in ASCII text. When a panic file is selected, the corresponding text is
displayed in the preview screen and the name of the file displays. Use this information as a high-level overview of the
panic.
4. Select a target panic file and click the Delete button to remove the file.
5. Select a target panic file and click the View button to open a separate viewing screen to display the panic information
in greater detail. For more information, see Viewing Panic Details on page 8-17 .
6. Click the Transfer Files button to open the transfer dialogue to transfer the file to another location. For more
information, see Transferring Panic Files on page 8-17 .
Name Displays the title of the panic file. Panic files are named n.panic where n
is in the range 0-9. 0 is always the oldest saved panic file and the highest
number is the most recent. If the system experiences a panic, there are ten
existing panics, the oldest is deleted and the remaining nine are renamed
so the newest can be saved as 9.
Size Displays the size of the panic file in bytes.
Created
Displays the date and time the panic file was created. The panic file is created after
the system reboots, however the panic information within the file contains the date
and time the panic actually occurred.
