Charon Report Utility for Windows
=================================

Description:
-----------
Utility to gather information on Charon server:
- Windows version,
- CPU,
- memory,
- storage,
- networks settings,
- USB connected devices,
- Charon settings,
- License content (works even from RDP)*,
- Charon virtual machines details with several checks performed

*: the utility must be started with "Run as Administrator"

It has been tested on Windows 10, 11, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019 and 2022 with Charon-AXP/VAX/PDP
and Charon-AXP/SMA.
Running it on older versions of Windows may generate errors (Windows 7, Windows 2008 R2, ...)
and display issues. Very old versions of Charon may generate issues.

The .MSI file and the .EXE are digitally signed. If you encounter a digital signature error when
starting the executable, please use the "CharonReport-Unsigned" version.


What it does:
------------
The utility creates an html report file that is included in a zip file containing the
Charon installation log file, all Charon virtual machines log files it can find
(session and OPA0 log files) and the configuration file with its included files if there
are.

Log files: if the log rotation mechanism is not used, the latest one is attached to the
zip file. If log rotation is used, the utility looks for the logs with 'started'
message (00000249) and attaches the 3 latest ones plus all the next ones so the 3 latest
full logs ('start' and all rotated/partial ones) of the virtual machine.
