Designed to streamline troubleshooting for Acreto Connect Client VPN issues, the Logs Collector gathers comprehensive log data, aiding Acreto Support Engineers in diagnosing and resolving issues effectively.

When Should I Use the Logs Collector?

The main scenario for the Logs Collector:

  1. Troubleshooting Connectivity Issues: If users report difficulties in establishing or maintaining a VPN connection, logs can provide insights into whether the problem lies with the client, network, or server.
  2. Performance Degradation: When there is a noticeable drop in network performance or speed while using the VPN, collecting logs can help identify bottlenecks or configuration issues causing the slowdown.
  3. Error Analysis: After encountering specific error messages or codes on the VPN client, logs can help decipher the exact nature and cause of these errors.

In essence, a logs collector should be used whenever there is a need to analyze and understand the behavior of the VPN client and the network, diagnose issues, maintain security standards, and ensure optimal performance.

In most of the cases Acreto Support Engenners may ask you to use this tool and share the results, before they start to solving your issue.
