Description

When collecting log files for analysis by Exasol support, the archive contains log files before the configured start date.

This makes the archive potentially much larger than it needs to be and can even exhaust disk space.

Workaround

When using the exasupport command line tool to collect support archives, temporarily use the legacy_exasupport tool instead. This does not receive new features or bug fixes but it also is not affected by this bug.

When using the Admin UI to download support archives, no workaround is available.

Fix

The support archive collection was fixed to respect the configured start date.
