  • Server Logs: Includes EventLog Analyzer application and ES logs.

  • Windows Agent Logs: Agents logs can be collected using the credentials used on the agent administration page for UI-installed agents.

  2. Manual upload:

    1. Logs will be copied to the <EventLog Analyzer Home>/server/support folder and compressed as a ZIP file.
