Snapshots
Refer to the Core Snapshots screen to view core dump files (system events and process failures with a.core
extension) to troubleshoot issues specific to the device on which the core event was generated. Core
snapshots are issues impacting the core (distribution layer). Once reviewed, core files can be deleted or
transferred for archive. Core files can be sent to a support team to expedite issues with the reporting device.
To review core snapshots impacting the network:
1. Select Diagnostics > Snapshots.
The Core Snapshots screen displays by default. This screen displays a list of device MAC addresses
impacted by core dumps.
2. Select a device from those displayed in the lower, left-hand, side of the UI.
