Diagnostic Tool - Dump Series Subtab
Coveo Diagnostic Tool 7.0.266+ (May 2018)
You can use the Dump Series subtab to generate a series of mini-dumps over a selected period, thus allowing Coveo Support to review the Coveo Enterprise Search 7 service evolution on your server over time. The generated dumps are then packaged in a ZIP file to be sent to Coveo Support.
