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