deviceTRUST Diagnostics (dtdiag.exe)
All deviceTRUST components (Host and Client) have product diagnostic features built-in to analyze the product during runtime or to create product log files for the deviceTRUST support team to analyze product behavior. When the deviceTRUST host and client are used together, it is important to capture log files from both the host and client during the same session, enabling a complete picture of the behavior of the system to be captured. The deviceTRUST diagnostics tools captures a lot of log statements from the product. Minimizing the number of steps performed whilst logging is enabled will ensure a speedier diagnosis.
- The deviceTRUST diagnostic tool must be launched with administrative privileges to the local system. However, when reproducing the problem, please ensure that the client continues to be run using the same account and privileges which had previously exhibited the symptoms.
