How can I collect ITMS evidence for Technical Support?
Environment
ITMS 8.x
Resolution
In most cases, what support needs is the Notification Server logs (NS logs) and/or the Symantec Management Agent logs (Agent logs).
The location for the Notification Server logs is C:\ProgramData\Symantec\SMP\Logs.
The location for the Symantec Management Agent logs is C:\ProgramData\Symantec\Symantec Agent:
- Compress the log files - do not include any folders unless requested by support. Do not include other zip files that may be in the folder.
- Upload the files to your case in the Broadcom Support Portal: support.broadcom.com
An easy and convenient way to collect evidence for Altiris technical support via single executable, from Notification Server, Site Servers running on Windows and Windows clients.
Note: When used to collect Notification Server logs, it will also collect folders inside the logs folder, which is seldom if ever needed. Please archive these folders by moving them out of the logs folder prior to running this executable.

Additional tab:
- Add additional Folders and/or Files as instructed by technical support, to be archived and added to collected data destination folder.
- Add additional registry keys as instructed by technical support, to be exported and archived, then added to collected data destination folder.
Collected evidence files can be uploaded manually via support.broadcom.com portal.
Note:
- The tool requires elevated privileges (Administrator privileges), in order to collect the required information.
