Failed to connect to the collector 12.38.14.200:443

Failed to connect to the collector 12.38.14.200:443

Hi, I've just commissioned a new X440-G2 running 21.1.1.4 and spotted this error message in the log:

"02-08-2016 15:40:43.15 Failed to connect to the collector 12.38.14.200:443 with SSL enabled (VLAN Mgmt does not have an IP address.)"

Anyone know what it is? I didn't configure this collector address so I assume it's some kind of stats gathering thing Extreme are doing?

Thanks.

You can run this in stand-alone mode. So if you use Splunk, you can have EXOS send show tech files for analysis.

Also Yes the tech-support collector allows for information to be sent to GTAC in a proactive way.

Here are the details from the XOS user Guide

"Proactive tech support functionality allows you to collect system information when support is required."
"System information is pushed into a cloud-hosted collector where the Extreme TAC can use it to identify problems to provide solutions. Proactive Tech Support provides the following functionality:"
"ā€¢ Proactive tech support is implemented as a loadable application, called techSupport.xmod. The XMOD is bundled with EXOS image packages, but can also be upgraded independently at any time without restarting the switch."
"ā€¢ Proactive tech support allows the switch to proactively collect switch status and send the status report to up to four cloud-hosted collectors."
"ā€¢ Proactive tech support allows both automatic and manual status report."
"ā€¢ Proactive tech support allows each collector to have different report data set, report frequency, or report mode. A default collector is configured automatically to minimize the configuration required"
"to enable the feature."

Hope that helps
