Report Filtering

During Dell System E–Support Tool (DSET) report collection, you can use this option to filter the critical

information from the report such as:

• Host name

• IP address

• Subnet mask

• Default gateway

• MAC address

• DHCP server

• DNS server

• Processes

• Environment variables

• Registry

• Logs

• iSCSI data

• Fibre Channel data (host WWN and port WWN)

NOTE: If report filtering option is enabled for one-time report collection (Zero Footprint report), all

of the above data is filtered. In permanent installation, you can specify the data to be filtered.

To enable the data filtering, select the Enable Report Filtering option during report collection.

To enable the data filtering using CLI, at the command prompt, run dellsysteminfo —v. Type yes to

enable this option. For more information on report filtering, see List of CLI Options.

To include any of the data to the report, specify ’no’ in the following file:

• On systems running Windows — <system drive>:\Program Files (x86)\Dell\AdvDiags\DSET\config\

privacy_presetlist.cfg (in 64-bit systems) or <system drive>:\Program Files\Dell\AdvDiags\DSET\config

\privacy_presetlist.cfg (in 32- bit systems).

• On systems running Linux — /opt/dell/advdiags/dset/config/privacy_presetlist.cfg

NOTE: The logs may contain data such as IP or MAC address and so on. If logs are set to "no", then

the data is not filtered in the report.
