AppSuite:Oxsysreport
The 'oxsysreport' tool is able to collect in a incident scenario a lot of useful log and system information into a tar archive. This so called OX Support Tarball contains Apache and OX configurations, OX logs and system information. This and a qualified Error Report makes sure that our support department get all needed details for a fast qualified help. We always recommend to encrypt your E-Mail with our Support Key when attaching this tarball.
