Collecting and Sending Logging Information to VMware
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 restart Horizon Client.
If you choose to send log les to VMware, Horizon Client sends a message from the email account
congured on the client 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 the device. Horizon Client uses this email account to send log
les.
Procedure
1 If you are already connected to a remote desktop or application, perform these steps:
a Tap to expand the Horizon Client Tools radial menu icon and tap the  (gear) icon to open
the Seings window.
b Tap Log Collection on the Seings window.
c Tap to toggle the Logging option to on.
d Tap Done to close the Seings window.
2 If you are not connected to a remote desktop or application, perform these steps:
a Tap  at the boom of the Horizon Client window to open the Seings window.
b Tap Log Collection on the Seings window.
c Tap to toggle the Logging option to on.
After log collection is enabled, Horizon Client generates several log les. When Horizon Client quits
unexpectedly or is exited and relaunched, the log les are merged and compressed into a single GZ le. If
you choose to send the log, Horizon Client aaches the GZ le to an email message.
If you switch from a running desktop to seings, enable log collection, and switch back to the desktop, you
must reconnect to the desktop to collect a complete log le.
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 les
at any time.
This procedure shows you how to retrieve and send log les through Horizon Client. If the device is
connected to a PC or Mac, you can also use iTunes to retrieve log les.
