Please note that, as stated in the Collecting Logs document (\Program Files(x86)\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager\Tools\collect_log.pdf), this tool collects only the server logs. The Symantec Endpoint Protection client logs are not collected.
In certain cases, Symantec Technical Support may request that the SEPM be configured to generate debug logs. Troubleshooting other issues require the output of a more comprehensive tool such as the Symantec Diagnostics (SymDiag) tool. Please see the Related Articles for further information.
