Generating a Report

To generate a report call the agenttechsupport tool

# sudo docker exec -it <CONTAINER ID> agenttechsupport
Report generated:

To retreive the techsupport,  from the host, run the following command:
     $ docker cp <CONTAINER ID>:<PATH TO REPORT> .

The generated file location will be displayed after the generation is completed. Depending on system load the generation can take a few minutes.
