Collecting and Sending Logging Information
If you have Horizon View Client 2.2 or later, you can configure Horizon View Client to collect log
information and send log files to VMware for troubleshooting.
If Horizon View Client quits unexpectedly, Horizon View Client immediately prompts you to send log files
to VMware. If log collection is enabled, the crash log file contains detailed debug information. If log
collection is disabled, only certain exception information is included in the crash log file.
If you choose to send log files to VMware, Horizon View Client uses the available email client on your
device to create a message. If your email client can send multiple attachments, Horizon View Client attaches
the last five log files to the message. If your email client cannot send multiple attachments,
Horizon View Client compresses the last five log files and attaches a ZIP file to the message. The ZIP file
name contains a time stamp, for example, Horizon_View_Client_logs_timestamp.zip.
You can also manually retrieve and send log files at any time.
Enable View Client Log Collection
When you enable log collection, Horizon View Client creates log files that contain information that can help
VMware troubleshoot problems with Horizon View Client.
Because log collection affects the performance of Horizon View Client, enable log collection only if you are
experiencing a problem.
Prerequisites
n
Verify that you have Horizon View Client 2.2 or later.
n
Verify that an email client is available on your device. Horizon View Client requires an email client to
send log files.
