F5OS-C 1.5.0 - Chassis Partition Diagnostic Menu webUI and CLI Improvements¶
Feature Overview¶
The menu on the chassis partition has been modified and a new tab called “DIAGNOSTICS” has been added. All the supportability’s tools available will be in this tab.
The chassis partition CLI will now display a system health summary and allow the administrator to configure a web proxy setting for submitting QKView files to iHealth.All the supportability tools available are in this tab.
Feature deeper overview¶
A “DIAGNOSTICS” tab is now available on the chassis partition user interface. There are currently two pages categorised as diagnostics. The first is for iHealth Configuration and the second is for qkView system reports.
This feature is to make the UI more usable for the administrator.
Similar to the web UI for the chassis partition, the CLI has been enhanced to allow the administrator to view the system health and configure web proxy for submitting QKView bundle files to iHealth server.
Customer use case example¶
An administrator wants to configure iHealth or create support bundles via the chassis partition UI.
