How to Collect Intune Logs from iOS Device Company Portal

Let’s learn how to collect Intune logs from iOS devices. Intune troubleshooting is a bit different from on-prem device management solutions like ConfigMgr. Intune is a software service (SaaS), and IT admins cannot access server-side logs.

The Company Portal is one of the main client-side components on iOS devices. You need a Company Portal application to enroll devices in Intune, and the CP application is essential for collecting and viewing the Intune logs from iOS devices.

Intune server-side troubleshooting is also possible from the Endpoint Manager portal. Learn more about how to Start Troubleshooting Intune Issues. You can refer to Intune client-side logs for Windows PC.

When you have an iOS device and want to perform the Intune side of troubleshooting, Microsoft released an excellent document here, “Troubleshooting iOS device enrollment problems in Microsoft Intune.”

Collect Intune logs from iOS device

Collecting Intune logs is a bit more complex than all the above methods. You can record and store diagnostic logs from iOS devices. To retrieve logs, you’ll need an iOS device, a USB cable, and a Mac running macOS 10.12 or later.

  • Connect the iOS device to your Mac with the USB cable.
  • Press command + Space and search for Console from a Mac device. You can also find it in Applications > Utilities > Console.
  • Select the Trust option from the iOS device.
  • Select iOS device from Mac OS.

You can monitor the log-gathering process from the MacOS console. You can include debugging messages in this log collection process. You must reproduce the problem from an iOS device via the Company Portal.

Now, it’s time to collect the logs from the iOS company portal and send them to Mac OS. Then, you can send the log file.

  • From the MacOS -> Console toolbar, select Edit > Select All
  • Select Edit > Copy.
  • Paste the log contents in a text editor.
  • From the menu, select Format > Make Plain Text.
  • Save the file as a .log file (Example: IntuneiOS.log)

  1. Thanks for writing this out. Is there a corresponding article on how to find the logs that were sent for a specific user? For example, the user receives an alpha numeric code when they submit logs. How does the admin find the corresponding logs related to this issue?
