To provide as helpful information as possible, you can attach a screenshot of the current page and a support bundle with useful analytical data about your PRTG installation.

In section Screenshot, choose between:

• Do not attach screenshot: Send the ticket without a screenshot.
  We recommend that you attach a screenshot of the affected PRTG webpage so that we can understand your request more easily.
   
• Create and attach screenshot (recommended): Create a screenshot of the currently displayed page in PRTG to send it with your ticket. You can see a preview below the screenshot section.
  If you encounter issues on a specific page in PRTG, open the contact support form on this page to get a screenshot of it. This is not possible on error pages which are not meaningful enough for our support team to solve your issue.

In the section Support Bundle, you can choose between several packages that differ in coverage of information:

• Attach Base Pack with log files (recommended): Contains log files of your PRTG installation and the following information:
• System status
• Lists of sensors regarding their current states
• Core state data
• Probe Health sensor data
• Current log entries
• Attach Base Pack with log files and PRTG configuration file: Additionally contains the configuration file.
  Send this package only if our support team told you so! Encrypted passwords in the config.dat file and passwords that your browser masks while you enter them on settings pages will be removed before PRTG sends this package to Paessler Support.
• Do not attach a Support Bundle: The ticket will not contain files. Choose this option only when sending feedback.
