Overview

Oftentimes Cato Support needs to inspect SDP user logs for analysis. In the following article, log collecting for the Support Team is demonstrated. 

Instructions

Below are the two ways to collect logs from an SDP user:

1. Contact Support Button

• The Contact Support policy must be configured previously via CMA. For more information see: Configuring the Contact Support Policy

• The Contact Support feature allows customers to configure how end-users will reach out in case of issues with their Cato Client. This feature solves the need for the user to download the file locally and then upload it to a ticket.
• The Contact Support button as seen from the Client:

Windows

iOS

Android

• After clicking Contact Support, select 'Send Logs to Support' and copy the Internal Reference ID. 
• The Cato Support Team will use the reference ID from the end user to retrieve the logs in the backend.

Windows

iOS

Android

2. Log Collector

The Contact Log Collector feature allows users to download the log files locally and upload them to a Support ticket

Windows SDP Client

• To collect logs on Windows, the user should press the Windows 'start' button and search for "Cato Log Collector" and send the generated file to Support.

macOS SDP Client

• On macOS, the user can download the logs directly from the client settings:
  

Linux SDP Client

• On Linux, the last Client session log files are automatically saved in the client's directory (which can be found either in the terminal or in the GUI). In the dated directories, you can find older log files.
  

Android SDP Client

• On the Android SDP Client, go to Menu > Contact Support > Send logs to admin. You'll have the option to send the log file via email or other methods.

iOS SDP Client

• On the iOS SDP Client, go to the Menu > Settings > Download logs. You'll have the option to send the log file via email or other methods.
