Auto Logging
Online Diagnostics saves the diagnostic test results in XML format, in an
auto-generated file (
result.xml
). The file is available in the
x:\
<install_directory>
\dell\diagnostics\log
directory (where
x:
is the drive
where the application installs) for Microsoft Windows operating systems
and in
/var/log/dell/diagnostics/log
for Linux operating systems. The
maximum size of the log file is 512 KB. Online Diagnostics removes the
log entries in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) fashion when the size of the log file
reaches the upper limit.
Online Diagnostics also saves the hardware configuration in an auto-
generated file (
config.xml
), which is available in the same location as
result.xml
.
