After log collection is enabled, Horizon Client generates several log files. When Horizon Client quits
unexpectedly or is exited and relaunched, the log files are merged and compressed into a single GZ file. If
you choose to send the log, Horizon Client attaches the GZ file to an email message.
If you switch from a running desktop to settings, enable log collection, and switch back to the desktop, you
must reconnect to the desktop to collect a complete log file.
Manually Retrieve and Send Horizon Client Log Files
When Horizon Client log collection is enabled on your device, you can manually retrieve and send log files
at any time.
This procedure shows you how to retrieve and send log files through Horizon Client. If your device is
connected to a PC or Mac, you can also use iTunes to retrieve log files.
