Credentials
Allows users to specify credentials and port for each LogRhythm Diagnostics Agent in the deployment, as well as SSH credentials for each LogRhythm Linux Data Indexer. Users can add Web Consoles to their deployment topology using the Add Web Console button.
Export
Allows users to gather all data into a .zip file for analysis or submission to LogRhythm Customer Support. The LogRhythm Diagnostics Tool contains two export profiles—Health Check and Logs. The Health Check export is the larger of the two and contains an array of output including SQL queries, perfmon counter data, disk space data, LogRhythm service status, Elasticsearch JSON, and LogRhythm component logs. The Logs export profile contains only LogRhythm component log data, MSSQL error log information, and the LogRhythm Diagnostics Agent log. Additionally, checking the Include Health Check report checkbox on the Export page includes a Health Check report in the export .zip file. Optionally, exported .zip files can be encrypted with a password.
