The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This version of Management Pack supports Cisco IMC Management Service Level logging. After upgrading to 1.1(1), error logging will automatically start on all the Cisco IMC Groups, either existed before or newly added after the upgrade. For each Cisco IMC Group, logging will continue until the servers are monitored in SCOM.
“%PROGRAMDATA%\Cisco\IMCServer\log”
Under the above location there are separate logs for each Cisco IMC Group being monitored.
By default following informational messages will always be logged:
Exception: Logs any Exceptions occurred during request processing to the log file.
Error: Logs any Errors or Exceptions occurred during request processing to the log file.
Information: Logs Errors, Exceptions and informational messages to the log file.
Note Default logging level is set to: Error.
Step 1 Open PowerShell window.
Step 2 Enter $imcWcf = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri http://localhost:8733/CSeriesAgent?WSDL -Namespace "Cisco.IMC.Agent" command to connect to the agent.
Step 3 To get the current log, enter execute : $imcWcf.GetLoggingType()
Step 4 To change logging, enter (Information, Error, Exception), execute: $imcWcf.UpdateLoggingType("Information").
Cisco IMC Management Service will back up logs files greater than 10 MB; once a log file size reaches 10 MB Management Service will stop writing to that file and will create a new file. If the Management Service is re-started then it will check the size of the existing active file and if it is less than 10 MB it will start appending to that file itself.
Any file whose last modified date and time is greater than 30 days will be purged automatically; currently this duration of 30 days is not configurable.
Step 1 Launch a command prompt.
Step 2 Change the directory to IMC management pack installation folder (default location :- C:\Program Files\Cisco\Cisco IMC Management Pack\IMCService).
Step 3 Verify that file “Cisco.IMC.TechSupport.exe” is available.
Step 4 Now use the following syntax to generate tech support zip file.
a. Generate at default location (C:\ProgramData\Cisco\IMCServer)
b. Run Cisco.IMC.TechSupport.exe without any parameter.
