How to collect logs for SL500?

SL500 Log Collection:
Library event logs
1. When collecting library logs, a Log SnapShot is always preferred. If you are running recent firmware and current SL
Console version, the log snapshot can be gathered very easily.

Minimum requirements for one-click snapshot:<br>SL8500 code FRS_7.05, SLC FRS_5.53<br>SL3000 code FRS_3.50, SLC FRS_5.60<br>SL500 code 1466, SLC FRS_5.60

If your library and SLC combination satisfy the requirements above, follow these steps in SL Console to obtain a log snapshot:
Go to Tools → Diagnostics → Library folder.
Go to TransferFile tab, select All Devices (should be selected by default).
Click 'Generate Log Snapshot On Library', confirm with 'OK'.
Once the log snapshot is generated, you have 15 minutes to save it by clicking 'Transfer Log Snapshot To Your Computer'.
The log snap shot is encrypted and must be sent to Oracle support for analysis.
2. If you are unable to gather the log snapshot, please gather the log using SL Console:

  • Tools → Reports → Log → Event Log: Error, Warn, Info
    Once the log has been generated, click "Save" if you are running a local copy of SL Console. If you are running SLC remotely, you may prefer to copy and paste the contents of the window. This also applies to outputs requested in next steps.
     
    Overview of library components
    3. Please collect the following outputs for an overview of library components:
    - Tools → Reports → Status Summary → Library Information (not Library Details, please)
    - Tools → Reports → Status Detail → Robot Details
    - Tools → Reports → Status Detail → Drive Details
    It is good practice to collect both Robot and Drive details, even if your issue does not seem to concern either or both of these, as some issues may not be immediately obvious.
     
    4. If supplying logs for diagnosing media or read/write errors you noticed on the drive, please include the following outputs:
    - Tools → Reports → Statistics → Drive Media Events
    - Tools → Reports → Statistics → Drive Events
    - Tools → Reports → Statistics → Media Events
    Other outputs that can be obtained in Tools → Reports are not usually needed unless your issue is specific to the pertinent part, therefore there is no need to spend additional time collecting these outputs.
