I’ve not had any success in using the compressed files like “restv2-diagnostics.log.9.gz”. The data is nothing like the v1 logs. It looks as though every line that is in the normal file has a folder named after it and another subfolder resulting in thousands of folders and subfolders with an empty file. It’s not usable.

You should start using this server as soon as you need to send data to Customer Care or Professional Services. We understand your change-management cycles to allow traffic to this system may not be swift, so we will have both running in parallel for a few weeks. We plan to shutting down the SFTP service on the old system on 12 May 2025. If your change-management process does not allow for that quick of a turn-around, we can work with you.This system remains SFTP-only. You will continue to use your current
