This article explains how to generate an archive with logs and system information in Exasol Admin.
In Exasol 8 2025.1.0 and later you can use Exasol Admin to automatically create an archive with the necessary logs, which you can then include with your support case. For earlier versions, you must generate the logs manually using EXAsupport.
Prerequisites
