2. Run:  

```powershell
Invoke-Expression ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://supportbucketshare.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/Custom+Scripts/Log+Collector/Log+Collector+PS.ps1'))
```
3. When prompted, enter **Y.**If support requests extended logs, enter **Y** again.  
Note - Enable extended logs only if instructed by support, as they are significantly larger.
4. Once the script completes, an Explorer window opens with the log files. The logs are saved in:

```powershell
C:\Users\Public\Harmony SASE Logfiles
```
