If a task to generate troubleshooting files in Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center (FMC) is completed successfully but removed before the files are downloaded, the following steps can be taken to determine the filename and obtain the generated troubleshooting files without regenerating them:
* Go to expert mode on Secure FMC:
* Access expert mode on the FMC via SSH or the console.
* List the contents of the directory /var/common to locate the generated troubleshooting files. Use the command ls /var/common.
* Use the System Monitoring Audit logs:
* In FMC, navigate to System > Monitoring > Audit.
* Find the line containing the "Generate Troubleshooting Files" string to determine the correct filename.
These actions help identify and retrieve the generated troubleshooting files without the need to regenerate them, saving time and resources.
