Collect logs with gpactl

Gpactl is an offline utility that you can use to collect logs if the Guardicore Platform Agent becomes inaccessible or the Full Diagnostics feature isn’t working as expected. You can find the tool in the following locations:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\Guardicore Platform Agent\gpactl.exe
  • macOS: /Library/Application Support/Guardicore Platform Agent/gpactl
