On Linux just run .\/Start and then enter start-log on the app’s commandline.<\/b> If you don’t explicitly start data collection then no data will be collected \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
Note: After the test be sure to type “quit” on the same app commandline to make sure that all of the data is saved.<\/p>\n
Notice on my machine it does throw some errors because multicast isn’t available, and in some other environments you might have some other kind of similar log spew. All that matters is that it prints the path to the logfile after you run start-log:<\/p><\/div>\n
