How do I collect and send Amazon Chime diagnostic logs?

Your client logs may be helpful in trying to determine root causes of an issue you may be experiencing. If you are asked to provide Diagnostic Logs please follow the following steps.

Below is a list of information that is helpful for our team to use to diagnose what might be going on. Provide as much of it as you have the time to tell us.

• If you experience a problem during a meeting, it can be helpful to use the post meeting feedback
  • When you leave the meeting choose Thumbs Down in the post meeting feedback
  • Choose the option that best describes your challenge and share your experience in the Other comment box
  • Make sure Send diagnostic logs is checked, and
  • Make a note of the meeting ID
  • Provide the meeting ID and any other useful information or screen shots with your Amazon Chime IT administrator so they can file a ticket with AWS Support

Generate client logs and a special reference id (if you did not do this at the end of the meeting) :
