Using the crashinfo File
Each new crashinfo file that is created uses a sequence number that is larger than any previously-existing
sequence number, so the file with the largest sequence number describes the most recent failure. Version
numbers are used instead of a timestamp because the switches do not include a real-time clock. You
cannot change the name of the file that the system will use when it creates the file. However, after the
file is created, you can use the rename privileged EXEC command to rename it, but the contents of the
renamed file will not be displayed by the show stacks or the show tech-support privileged EXEC
command. You can delete crashinfo files using the delete privileged EXEC command.
You can display the most recent crashinfo file (that is, the file with the highest sequence number at the
end of its filename) by entering the show stacks or the show tech-support privileged EXEC command.
You also can access the file by using any command that can copy or display files, such as the more or
the copy privileged EXEC command.
