What's this about?

To help you resolve technical issues, it may be necessary to provide your user logs to an Atakama representative. 

Collecting logs from the desktop application

Start here if Atakama is able to load on your computer. Otherwise, scroll down to the Advanced Instructions below.

1. Make sure Atakama is running on your computer.
   
   
2. Change the logging level on the desktop:
   
   a. Right click on the Atakama icon in the System Tray, hover over Help and Support.
   b. Hover over Set Log Level and click on Debug.
   
   
3.  Restart the Atakama desktop application.
   
   
4. Swipe away and relaunch Atakama on the mobile device.
   
   
5. Attempt to reproduce the issue (if possible) by following the same steps that caused the issue in the first place.
   
   
6. Save the logs:
   
   a. Click on the Atakama icon in the system tray (Windows) or menu bar (macOS) to open the quick-look view and click on the gear icon.
   b. Click Send Bug Report within the menu item Help and Support.
   
   
   
   
7. In the dialog box, leave the "Support Ticket Number" blank. Enter your email address and provide as much detail as you can about the issue in the "Description" text box. Then click OK.                                                                                                                                    
8. Collect the mobile logs (instructions at the end of this article).
   
   
9. Change the logging level back to default. On Desktop to INFO and on the Atakama Mobile app to ERROR.
   
   
   

Advance Instructions

Follow these steps if you are unable to launch Atakama on your desktop.

For Windows Users

1. Open This PC and in the location bar type in %localappdata% and press enter.
   
   
   
   
2. Look for the Atakama folder within your list of folders and open it.
   
   
   
   
3. Inside the Atakama folder locate cryptvfs.log.* (and all the cryptvfs.log-s) and pyntfs.log. You will need to send all of these files to Atakama, either by email or through the Atakama help desk.

For macOS Users

1. Make sure Finder is in the foreground (look for "Finder" in the top-left corner of the screen next to the Apple icon), then select Go in the menu bar and choose Home.
   
   
   
   
2. To locate the logs in your home directory, simultaneously press the "Command", "Shift", and "." (period) keys to make visible your hidden files.
   • The hidden files and folders will appear in a lighter "faded" color. If these files were previously visible and then disappeared, simply press the "Command", "Shift", and "." (period) keys again.
     
     
3. Navigate to the .atakama folder and open it. Locate cryptvfs.log.* (and all the cryptvfs.log-s) and pyntfs.log. You will need to send all of these files to Atakama, either by email or through the Atakama help desk.
