You can specify the value of the autosupport.content option as complete or minimal to control the detail level of event messages and weekly reports. Complete AutoSupport messages are required for normal technical support. Minimal AutoSupport messages omit sections and values that might be considered sensitive information and reduce the amount of information sent. Choosing minimal
greatly affects the level of support you can receive.
