Is it possible to retrieve the log collector from a service view on a DMA ?

Hello Skyline,

I'd like to create a view/service in our DMA to download on my desktop the log collector from a specific DMA.
The goal will be to have a button for each DMA which will allow the downloading of the log collector without having to connect to the server.
Is this something you think is feasible, or we can only download the logcollector from the server where the DMA is located ?

Thanks by advance for you answer,

Hi Hugo,
This would require remotely triggering the logcollector, e.g. by using Remote PowerShell, and then downloading the resulting file.
Because taking a logcollector package might take a while, I don't think it's a good idea to do this synchronously though (e.g. via an automation script).
You could develop a protocol to do this and keep track of the status which can then be visualised on the Visio where you can then download the file.
I never tried it out myself, and I think it will require some work, but (as with almost everything) technically it should be feasible yes.

Good evening Wouter,
Thanks for your answer, it was very clear. To be honest, I was looking for an easier solution than the protocol-one, unfortunately I do not have enough time to develop a protocol to collect log… if by any chance, I find some time, I will keep you updated.
Have a good evening !
