Collecting and Sending Logging Information
You can configure Horizon Client to collect log information and send log files to VMware for
troubleshooting.
If Horizon Client quits unexpectedly while log collection is enabled, Horizon Client prompts you to send log
files to VMware when you relaunch Horizon Client.
If you choose to send log files to VMware, Horizon Client sends a message from the email account
configured on your device and attaches a GZ file that contains the last five log files. The file name contains a
time stamp, for example, Horizon_View_Client_logs_timestamp.log.gz.
You can also manually retrieve and send log files at any time.
Enable Horizon Client Log Collection
When you enable log collection, Horizon Client creates log files that contain information that can help
VMware troubleshoot problems with Horizon Client.
Because log collection affects the performance of Horizon Client, enable log collection only if you are
experiencing a problem.
Prerequisites
Verify that an email account is configured on your device. Horizon Client uses this email account to send
log files.
