Configuring tracing

Kaspersky Endpoint Agent does not automatically create a folder for storing trace or dump files on the device. Specify a folder that is already available on the device.

To configure tracing in Kaspersky Endpoint Agent using the command line interface:

1. On the device, run a command line interpreter (for example, Command Prompt cmd.exe) with the permissions of the local administrator.
2. Using the cd command, navigate to the folder where the Agent.exe file is located.

   For example, you can type the following command cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Kaspersky Lab\Endpoint Agent\" and press ENTER.

3. Enter one of the following commands and press ENTER:
   • agent.exe --trace=enable --folder <path to the folder where you want to create trace files> to enable tracing.

   Tracing will be enabled for all Kaspersky Endpoint Agent processes that are currently running. Trace files will be created in the folder you specified.

   • agent.exe --trace=disable to disable tracing.

   Tracing will be disabled for all Kaspersky Endpoint Agent processes that are currently running.

   • agent.exe --trace=show to view the current tracing status and the path to the folder to save the trace files.

   The values of the trace.enable (true, if tracing is enabled or false, is tracing is disabled) and trace.folder (path to the folder) settings are displayed.

Return codes of the --trace command:

• -1 – command is not supported.
• 0 – command successfully executed.
• 1 – required argument is not passed to the command.
• 2 – general error.
• 4 – syntax error.
• 5 – object not found (the specified path to the tracing logs folder is not found).
• 9 – invalid operation (for example, an attempt to execute the --trace=disable command, if tracing is already disabled).
