How can I analyse splunk diag file unix UF

[msplunk33]

I am new to splunk. I received a splunk diag file for a UF. How can I open and  analysis the splunk diag file. Do I need splunk support for this. Any tool is available from splunk itself.

Hi @msplunk33 diag file generally we should not create from a UF.  The diag file contains info about the splunk environment for splunk support team to analyse. the UF does not contain all info the support team wanted. 

you can open the diag file and it will have info about your splunk configuration. UF's diag - it may not be of much use for ourselves. diag from indexer/SH only will be useful and that too, only splunk support team can utilize them. 

Do I need splunk support for this. Any tool is available from splunk itself >>> i think splunk support is needed and no tools available from splunk.
