For all Xen related bugs I always need to get /var/log/xen/xend.log and quite often the guest VM config file. At the same time I often do not have time to deal with a bug immediately. So I will take a quick look at request the info that will likely be required to diagnose the bug. So when I do finally have time to analyse the bug perhaps a month or more later, I will have most of the info neccessary. If I didn't request the data immediately, then the user would probably not still have the neccessary data the weeks/ month later and there'd be no chance to fix it. So I always as for as much information as possible the moment the bug is opened, since that's the time at which the user has it easily available.
