Check Your Product:

This article is relevant for My OPSWAT Central Management (on-premises) on Windows systems starting from version 10.0.2506 and later, or on Linux systems from version 10.2.2509.

A support package is a collection of log and configuration files which are used by the OPSWAT Support team when troubleshooting My OPSWAT Central Management Issues.

A support package can be generated in either Windows or Linux systems, by following the relevant instructions below.

From the My OPSWAT Central Management console(from version 10.7.26080 and later)

The recommended way to generate a support package is from the web console, which works for both Windows and Linux deployments and does not require access to the server.

  1. Log in to the My OPSWAT Central Management console with an administrator account.

  2. Open the Help Center and select the Support Packages tab.


  3. Click Generate Support Package (top-right corner).

  4. In the Generate Support Package dialog, select My OPSWAT Central Management.

    Note: The same dialog can also be used to generate support packages for managed products, such as MetaDefender Core or MetaDefender Kiosk Windows.

  5. Click Generate Support Package to start the generation.


  1. Once generation completes, the package is listed under the Support Packages tab. You can search for it by package name or filter by attribute, then download it and forward it to OPSWAT Support.

If the console is not accessible, use one of the server-side methods below.

Windows

You can generate the support package directly from the tray menu:


Additional options to generate the support package

  1. Navigate to the My OPSWAT Central Management installation directory (default path: C:\Program Files\OPSWAT\MOCM).


  1. Right-click mocmSupportPackage.exe and choose “Run as administrator,” or simply double-click it and approve the UAC prompt if it appears. You can also run it from an elevated Command Prompt.



  1. The package will be generated in the format of mocm-support-package-<timestamp>.zip, inside the installation folder, to be copied and forwarded to OPSWAT Support.
