You can use the CLI to copy the following types of switch data to a text file on a destination device:

Command output

Sends the output of a switch CLI command as a file on the destination device.

Event log

Copies the switch's Event Log into a file on the destination device.

Crash data

Software-specific data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.

Crash log

Processor-specific operating data useful for determining the reason for a system crash.

Flight data recorder (FDR) logs

Information that is “interesting” at the time of the crash, as well as when the switch is not performing correctly but has not crashed.
