Release Notes

Cinegy Support Tools is a set of tools for collecting technical data about Cinegy installations.

Its primary purpose is to simplify the support procedure and provide customers with an easy way to collect and review different technical parameters of their Cinegy products installation, helping in troubleshooting potential issues that may occur.

The current Cinegy Support Tools package consists of:

A tool that generates reports on the installed Cinegy products, their settings, available log and dump files, etc. The information collected while generating a report can also be automatically uploaded to a dedicated FTP server.

A tool that represents information contained in the report packages in a user-friendly manner. It is designed to be used by system administrators and the Cinegy Support team, although the user may use it to review information being sent to Support to ensure that it is valid and no personal info is collected.

A tool that analyzes the system to discover "no longer needed" files generated by the Cinegy products. It automatically collects different types of files such as dumps, logs, etc. and calculates the space used by them on the machine. These files may be removed from the machine with or without their local backup, according to user settings.
