Creating an uberAgent Support Bundle

It may happen that the uberAgent support team asks you to create an uberAgent support bundle. A support bundle is a collection of log files and registry items which helps the support team troubleshoot your case. For Windows there is a PowerShell module available which does the work for you. On macOS we provide a convenient shell script. Learn below how to use it.

Requirements

Windows

  • At least Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2
  • PowerShell version 5 or above
  • Administrative permissions
    • Needed to collect process owners of all running uberAgent processes
  • The script execution policy must be set to either RemoteSigned or Unrestricted. Check the script execution policy setting by executing Get-ExecutionPolicy. If the policy is not set to one of the two required values, run PowerShell as an administrator and execute Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser -Confirm

macOS

  • At least macOS Catalina
  • Z shell (Zsh)
  • Administrative permissions

Download & Installation
