Opened: Feb 28, 2018

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When nitrox_diag generates a QKView file, the utility does not use the -s0 flag for the qkview command. That means there is a 5 MB file-size limit for the resulting QKView file nitrox_diag generates.

Impact

QKView files generated in response to running the nitrox_diag command might not contain all necessary information, for example, the result might contain truncated log files.

Conditions

Run the nitrox_diag command.

Workaround

After running nitrox_diag, run the following command to generate a complete QKView file: qkview -s0

Fix Information

Nitrox_diag utility now uses the -s0 command to generate QKView files, so there is no longer a 5 MB maximum file size limit, and the full QKView file is created.
