In case of issues with Plesk or one of its services, Plesk users can opt to generate technical reports before contacting support. These reports contain Plesk’s server log and configuration files. Generated technical reports are sent to Plesk, and then they become available to Plesk Support and to Partners Support service via Partner Central. Reports make the interaction between users and support services much more efficient, and help resolve issues. A report is stored in Partner Central for four weeks.

To access technical reports, you must have the permission Manage Support Technical Reports.

Technical reports are available on the Support tab, where you can view and download them. To find a report, type a search query or use predefined filters (on the left).
