ClusterStor and Sonexion System Snapshot Analyzer (SSA) User Guide S-2561	Refer to the SSA User Guide to download, install, and use Cray System Snapshot Analyzer (SSA) software. Cray system snapshot analyzer (SSA) software is support analytics technology that securely collects, analyzes, and uploads (if upload is enabled) product health, configuration, or triage information about a ClusterStor system to the Cray service organization. After being captured and uploaded by SSA, the data is analyzed using a sophisticated analytics platform to detect and enumerate changes over time, detect changes in the health state of various aspects of a system, or process triage information to assist with case resolution. Through automation, SSA improves the overall customer experience by reducing the manual effort and time required to report and resolve support issues. The SSA shepherd is the client software that manages the collection, first-level analysis, and secure transport of support telemetry information back to Cray.
