VMware Aria Operations support bundles contain log and configuration files that help troubleshoot a VMware Aria Operations issue.

How Support Bundles Work

Support bundles require that you select nodes or the entire cluster, and the level of logging that you want to collect. After VMware Aria Operations creates the support bundle, you download it in ZIP format for analysis.

Where You Find Support Bundles

Log in to the VMware Aria Operations administration interface at https://master-node-name-or-ip-address/admin and then click Support > Support Bundles.
