Just adding the extension idea too that we discussed briefly.

A 'GSS Archive' which is basically the same as above (startup / shutdown 
scripts + artifacts), but also includes the logs from the domain/host and 
scripts to align the setup against the current running instances.

This will allow GSS to 'replay' the setup in their environment. Yes, there are 
some caveats around this, but having a "Create support ticket" from the UI 
based on this archive would be a good start.
