Resource
Description

Traps installation log

Specifies any errors encountered during installation of Traps components. Use this log file when you need to troubleshoot installation issues. On Windows endpoints, the installer stores the log files in the %temp% or C:\Users\<user_name>\AppData\Local\Temp folder.

Traps service log

Indicates information, warnings, and errors related to the Traps service. The Service log is located in the following folder on the endpoint:

  • Windows Vista or a later Windows OS—%ProgramData%\Cyvera\Logs

  • Windows XP—C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Cyvera\Logs

Traps console log

Indicates information, warnings, and errors related to the Traps console. The Console log is located in the following folder on the endpoint:

  • Windows Vista or a later Windows OS—C:\Users&#x3C;username>\AppData\Roaming\Cyvera

  • Windows XP—C:\Document and Settings&#x3C;username>\Application Data\Cyvera\Logs

Supervisor Command Line Tool (cytool.exe)

Allows you to manage Traps features and perform advanced troubleshooting on the local endpoint from a command line interface. For more information, see Cytool for Windows.

Unknown files for analysis

Traps stores unknown files to send to the Traps management service in the C:\ProgramData\Cyvera\Temp folder. After the Traps management service submits a file to WildFire, the Traps agent deletes the file from the Temp folder.

In some cases, third-party Antivirus (AV) applications raise an alert for this folder. If this occurs, we recommend that you whitelist this folder in the third-party AV application.
