Sending log files to support

Last Updated : Jan 21, 2026 |

About this task

If you face an issue with Avaya Workplace Client, you might be required to send the log files to Avaya support for troubleshooting the issue.

If your administrator enables encryption of logs but does not set the encryption passphrase, you can provide a custom passphrase to encrypt the logs. Ensure that the passphrase is not your regular account password as you need to share this password with your administrator for decrypting the log file.

Note:

On Avaya Workplace Client for Android, when you send logs using an email address, Avaya Workplace Client passes the email address string, unaltered, to your chosen email application. Avaya Workplace Client does not format or validate email addresses. The email application formats and validates email addresses.

Before you begin

  • On Avaya Workplace Client for Android, configure the support email address.

  • On Google Chromebook, install the Gmail application from Play Store.

    The default Gmail application on Chromebook is only a browser extension.

Procedure

  1. Do one of the following:
    • On Avaya Workplace Client for Android: Tap Support > Report a Problem > Send Logs.

    • On desktop clients and Avaya Workplace Client for iOS: Select Support > Report a Problem.

  2. Optional If your administrator enables encryption of logs but does not set the encryption passphrase, then provide an encryption passphrase.
  3. Do one of the following:
    • On mobile clients: If more than one email option is listed, select the appropriate option, and enter the details in the email body.

    • On desktop clients: Enter the details in the email body.

      Note:
      • On Windows clients, set the Settings > Default apps > MAILTO protocol to New Outlook. This will generate the Report Problem email with log zip file attached to it in Drafts of New Outlook instead of Outlook Classic.

      • New Outlook on Windows 11 does not support On-premises Exchange (internal-only domain account).

  4. Send the logs report.
