Collect logs

If ESET Technical Support requests logs from ESET Server Security for Linux, use the collect_logs.sh script available at /opt/eset/efs/sbin/ to generate the logs.

Launch the script from a Terminal window with root privileges. For example, in Ubuntu run the following command:

sudo /opt/eset/efs/sbin/collect_logs.sh

The script generates all essential logs as an archive file to the home folder of being logged in user, and it will display the path to it. Send that file to ESET Technical Support via email.
