How to gather Agent debug logs

Problem: 

I am having an issue on the agent side, how can I gather the agent logs for the Instana team to investigate?

Solution:

Please follow the below steps to gather the logs that will capture most details for diagnosis:

Stop the agent (<instana_install_dir>/bin/stop.sh)

Wipe the logs (delete all files in <instana_install_dir>/data/logs)

Set log level to DEBUG (change the severity in the configuration file
following the instructions here:
https://www.instana.com/docs/setup_and_manage/host_agent/configuration/#agent-logging

Start the agent (<instana_install_dir>/bin/start.sh)

Reproduce the issue

Zip up the logs (in <instana_install_dir>/data/logs) and post the zip file with the support ticket.
