The Web Management Console supports generating the following types of dump files:

* Overview (provides time of dump, XAP build and version, license information, number of host machines, number of grid components, service grid information, and host information)
* Hosts (complete information dump per host, generated per XAP grid component)
* Containers (container information per host)
* Per component (select a specific XAP component from any of the console views)

**To generate a dump file:**

1. From the menu bar, click **Generate Dump** and select from the following options:

<ol type="a">
<li><b>Generate hosts dump</b> - This is the most comprehensive dump file, generated per host with an overview file, summary file, and all information defined by the user per XAP component.</li>
<li><b>Generate GSCs dump only</b> - Partial dump file generated per host of the containers with an overview file, summary file, and all information defined by the user.</li>
<li><b>Generate Overview</b> - Generates only the overview file, which provides system and application information.</li>
</ol>

OR

1. In one one the console views, click the **Actions **icon for the required component and select **Generate dump**.
1. If you selected **Generate Overview**, either open or save the zip file that was generated.
1. If you selected any other dump file type, do the following:

<ol type="a">
<li>In the <b>Cause for dump retrieval</b> box, type a reason for generating the dump file. This text will appear in the summary file for each XAP component.</li>
<li>In the <b>Select Dump Types</b> area, check the options for the information you want in the dump file, which provides a summary file plus the following:
<ul>
<li><b>JVM Thread Dump</b> - container state and thread information per container.</li>
<li><b>Network Dump</b> - network statistics per container.</li>
<li><b>Log Dump</b> - log files for all services or only live services (If the **Only Live Services Log Dump** is checked)</li>
<li><b>Processing Unit Dump</b> - pu.xml file per Processing Unit, event container information per Processing Unit instance, and a summary file per Space.</li>
<li><b>JVM Heap Dump</b> - binary heap dump file.</li>
</ul>
<li>Click <b>Generate</b>.
</ol>

1. When the dump file has been generated (indicated by the status bar in the dialog box), define another dump file to generate or click **Close**.
1. Open or save the zip file that was generated.
