Umbrella Diagnostic Tool: What to Provide Support When Asked
Support will often ask for the results of our diagnostic tool, especially when troubleshooting difficult issues. The steps to using the tool are straightforward, but it's very important to send the link that's generated by the tool, rather than a screenshot of the information or having the information pasted.
You can access the diagnostic tool in different ways depending on how you interact with Umbrella.
Have the Umbrella Roaming Client?
Have the Cisco AnyConnect Umbrella Roaming Module?
Don’t have the Roaming Client or AnyConnect?
Have the Umbrella Roaming Client?
If you have the standalone Umbrella Roaming Client, a diagnostic tool is built in. To access it:
Windows:
- If using a version below 2.3.x, download the diagnostic client manually below instead of running the built-in diagnostic.
- Click the Umbrella Roaming client icon in your system tray
- A status summary will appear. Click the link at the bottom that says Run Diagnostic Tool.
Mac OS X:
- Click the Umbrella Roaming client icon from your Menu Bar (Mac OS X)
- A status summary will appear. Click the link at the bottom that says Run Diagnostic Tool.
Have the Cisco AnyConnect Umbrella Roaming Module?
For the Cisco AnyConnect Umbrella Roaming module, you need to run two tools: The AnyConnect DART and the roaming client Umbrella Diagnostic tool.
Windows:
- Run the DART as per the instructions listed here
- Run the diagnostic executable located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco\Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client\UmbrellaDiagnostic.exe
Mac OS X:
- Run the DART as per the instructions listed here
- Run the diagnostic executable located here: /opt/cisco/anyconnect/bin/UmbrellaDiagnostic.app
- Copy the file from "/opt/cisco/anyconnect/umbrella/data/beacon-logs/service/acumbrellacore*" to the ticket
Note: This Diagnostic Tool is not to be used for troubleshooting issues with Secure Web Gateway (SWG) Web Policies. Troubleshooting steps for SWG can be found here: Troubleshooting Umbrella Secure Web Gateway: Policy Debug and Diagnostic Tests
Don’t have the Roaming Client or AnyConnect?
Download and run the standalone diagnostic tool from the links below.
Microsoft Windows : Download here
Mac OS X : Download here
Linux: No tool, see Terminal instructions here
Now that you have found and launched your diagnostic tool, please see the next section for how to run it on your Operations System.
Microsoft Windows
When you first run the tool, you'll be asked for account information, ticket information and a domain to test with. This information is all optional, but if there is a specific domain you are having trouble accessing, please include it the Domain to test field:
Click Run tests. The tests should only take a few moments to complete and at the bottom of the diagnostic output there will be an ID displayed. This is the ID you'll want to send to the Umbrella Support team.
In the example above, support needs the Diagnostic ID number. "Diagnostic ID 953406"
Please do not send this example ID. Send the ID that appears in your diagnostic result.
If the upload fails, a file will be generated in C:\Windows\tmp and the file location will be printed instead of the link.
Diagnostic tools below version 1.6.5 on Windows will not support cloud upload as of March 31, 2021. Please upload the generated file to support.
Only the link itself is needed, please click the link then copy and paste the URL results into your ticket. In the worst case scenario, if you can't copy and paste the link, feel free to send us a screenshot of the link.
Do not log into the link. Support uses this to log in and access results. You will not have access to this even with your Umbrella account.
If the Diagnostic does not run, provide the results of the following command prompt commands:
