In case of issues with Plesk or one of its services, Plesk users can opt
to generate technical
reports
before contacting support. These reports contain Plesk’s server log and
configuration files. Generated technical reports are sent to Plesk, and
then they become available to Plesk Support and to Partners Support
service via Partner Central. Reports make the interaction between users
and support services much more efficient, and help resolve issues. A
report is stored in Partner Central for four weeks.
To access technical reports, you must have the permission Manage
Support Technical Reports.
Technical reports are available on the Support tab, where you can
view and download them. To find a report, type a search query or use
predefined filters (on the left).
