The Network Protocol Manager dump instrumentation utility is a tool that can provide useful event information for troubleshooting by VMware Support.

Note:

You must send both the output file plus the repository file (for example, bgp.rps) in order for VMware Support to troubleshoot the problem.

NPM dump instrumentation utility scripts provides a list of scripts that write the instrumented values to an output file.
