Viewing and Sending Diagnostic Logs

If you contact DUG support to report a problem, you may be asked to send diagnostic logs to us for further analysis.

  1. Send logs from the help menu
    • This is the easiest and fastest method to report a problem.
  2. Send logs from the DUG Insight Launcher
    • When Insight is running slowly;
    • If the Help Menu is unreachable; or
    • If Insight is frozen or not responding.
  3. Send logs manually via e-mail

Always add a comment!

  • Let us know the issue you are facing.

On rare occasions, our developers may ask for more detailed or specific timed logs. This can help to give a fuller picture of the background processes.

Note: For a fatal error, see Help, Insight just crashed! What should I do now?

  2. If you want a response from the support team, select the Allow DUG to contact me check box and make sure to provide a valid email address.

If Insight fails to launch, has frozen/hung, or is running unusually slow, users can view and send the logs via the DUG Insight Launcher.

  1. Open the DUG Insight Launcher.
  2. Click View session logs to view the diagnostic logs. Each application and invocation of the software gets its own tab in the Logs window.

Note: For more information regarding logs, click on the Help icon on the right.

  1. In the Logs window, click Send to DUG.
  1. The Problem Reporter will be displayed where you can type your email address and describe the problem you are experiencing. This information, along with the contents of the log, will be sent to the support team for analysis.
  2. If you want a response from the support team, please provide an email address in the box.
  3. Click OK to send the logs.

Note: It is important that you send the logs to DUG while you are having that problem. Sending it later will not be useful to provide information related to the problem.

Add detailed performance data to this application's log for one minute, allowing you to reproduce performance issues, and then send logs to DUG support for diagnosis.
