#### To generate a diagnostic report

The Generate Diagnostic Report page generates a diagnostic report based on your preferences set in the Diagnostic Service page. To specify data that you want to collect and include in the diagnostic report, see To configure the diagnostic service.

To generate a diagnostic report:

1. Click the Application Server node.
2. Select the Diagnostics tab.
3. Define the report settings as follows:

   - Description: Provide a unique description of this report.

   - Bug IDs: If you know the bug number related to the problem you are facing, enter it here.

   - Server Log Start Date: Enter a date in `MM/DD/YY` format.

     The date from which `server.log`files (if log rotation is enabled) for server instances are captured. If the log start date is not specified, number of entries from `server.log` file as specified by `max-no-of-entries` matching `min-log-level` in diagnostic service are collected.

   - Server Log End Date: Enter a date in `MM/DD/YY` format

     If specified, takes precedence over `max-no-of-entries` from diagnostic service configuration. The log end date must be specified if the log start date is specified If the log end date is not specified, `max-no-of-entries` from diagnostic service is used to limit the `server.log` content being captured.

4. Click Generate Report.
5. You will be prompted to save the generated report.
