How do I generate the Diagnostics Log?

If you are working with our Support team, they may ask you to generate the Diagnostics Log and send it to them. The Diagnostics Log provides data we can use to troubleshoot any issues you may be having with Metasploit.

Generating the Diagnostics Log on Linux

If you are a Linux user, open an terminal and enter the following command:

$ sudo /opt/metasploit/diagnostic_logs.sh

The generated compressed file, called diagnostics-<date generated><time generated>.zip will be saved in the Metasploit root directory.

Generating the Diagnostics Log on Windows

If you are a Windows user, choose Start > Programs > Metasploit > Diagnostics Logs.

The generated compressed file, called diagnostics-<date generated><time generated>.zip will be placed at the root of the Metasploit directory.
