New

Command Templates – Retrieve Software Installation Logs (Mac, Windows, Linux)

We’ve added a new “Software Installation Logs” command template in Device Management → Commands to make troubleshooting installs much faster:

  • New Recommended Template: A “Recommended Command Template” block now appears on the Commands page, suggesting a prebuilt command to retrieve installation logs. You can launch it directly from the CTA, or access it later from the “Create Command” flow if you dismiss the recommendation.

  • Multi‑OS Support: The template comes with prefilled commands for macOS, Windows, and Linux, so you don’t have to look up paths or syntax:

    • Windows: Get-Content -tail 100 "C:\ProgramData\gorilla\gorilla.log"

    • macOS: tail -n 100 /Library/Managed\ Installs/Logs/ManagedSoftwareUpdate.log

    • Linux: tail -n 100 /var/log/swif-agent.log

  • Per‑OS Control: In the first step, you can decide which OSes to include by using Skip or Save & Continue for each OS. You must act on all OS rows before continuing, and you can’t proceed with all three skipped, so every run creates at least one command.

  • Clear Review & Editing: A final confirmation step summarizes the commands that will be created (only for non‑skipped OSes). From there, you can go back and edit an OS’s configuration; previously saved OS configs stay read-only until you intentionally return to that step to change them.

  • Consistent UI & CTAs: The flow follows the same layout and patterns as our Application Templates, including CTA styling aligned with the app store–style CTAs, and removes confusing “Skip / Save & Continue” behavior from later steps (device/group selection) so users only make that decision once, upfront.

This update makes it one click to generate the right install-log commands across platforms, with a clearer, guided flow and consistent UI.
