Overview

The console logs are written to the system logger from the operating system (OS) and external applications.

In many cases, the console logs are required to further investigate SDP Client issues and you should collect them while reproducing the issue and submit a ticket with Cato Networks. There is no need to interpret the logs, only collect, validate, and send them to Cato Support.

Environment

macOS system with the built-in Console application (see Applications > Utilities).
