# Generate Diagnostics

### Diagnostics can be requested on dope.cloud, but you can also generate diagnostics from the endpoint itself.

Select **Generate Diagnostics** from the [https://github.com/dopesecurity/docs/blob/main/dope.endpoint/dope.endpoint-ui](https://github.com/dopesecurity/docs/blob/main/dope.endpoint/dope.endpoint-ui "mention").

## Run Diagnostics

To get the dope.endpoint to run a set of diagnostic tests, select the “Generate Diagnostics” option from the dope.endpoint UI.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Windows:** Right click on the DS, and select “Generate Diagnostics.”

**macOS:** Option ⌥ + click on the DS icon in the menu bar, then select “Generate Diagnostics.”
{% endhint %}

dope.endpoint will run a set of tests, gather internal and relevant OS logs, and upload it to the dope.cloud.

{% hint style="info" %}
Debug logs can also be manually retrieved from these directories:\
\
**Windows:** `C:\ProgramData\dope.security`

**macOS:** `/Library/Application\ Support/dope.security`
{% endhint %}

## Enable Debug Mode

In some cases, you may need to enable debug mode to help solve a problem. This can be done by selecting “Enable Debug Mode” from the dope.endpoint UI.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Windows:** Right click on the DS icon, and select “Enable Debug Mode”

**macOS:** Option ⌥ + click on the DS icon in the menu bar. Select “Enable Debug Mode.”
{% endhint %}

Once the problem is resolved, you can disable debug mode by selecting "Disable Debug Mode" in the dope.endpoint UI.
