How Automatic Bundle Creation Works

After you configure automatic bundle generation, STA creates bundles when certain events occur within the library system.

By default, automatic bundle generation is disabled. Once enabled, STA creates automatic RDA or library component log bundles according to the predefined policies. STA automatically generates an alert when a log bundle is created and sends email notifications to the designated recipients.

If you have enabled forwarding to SDP, STA automatically sends the log bundles to the SDP host. SDP only receives log bundles for hardware and products that are registered for service under the connected SDP server. However, you can manually download all log bundles from STA (whether sent to SDP or not) through the STA interface. STA purges automatic bundles when they are 10 days old, based on their creation date.

Some examples of events that may cause STA to generate an automatic bundle are:

A library is in a not-operative state.
A library drive has "Action" health.
A library robot is in a degraded state.
STA has been restarted.
The STA password change utility is unable to roll back to the previous password.
