Diagnostic Tool - Selection Subtab
You can use the Selection subtab to review the dumps currently saved on your CES servers (master and mirrors), and then send the dumps to Coveo Support or your system administrators. You can also generate dumps for any CES 7 service on any server.
Note: By default, a support case is created when CES 7 dumps are generated (see Diagnostic Tool - Settings Subtab).
