Resolution

There is a command-line version available.

 

From the silvercat server, run :

 

/var/opt/silvertail/bin/supportsnapshot.sh -f /var/opt/silvertail/etc/universal.conf -o /var/opt/silvertail/data/snapshot/ -n mysnapshot.tar.gz -m -u admin -p silvertail

 

Where ?silvertail? on the end in the SilverCat password.

 

Running it with --help will give you a list of all of the available options.
