2. Run the self-diagnose tool:

   ```console
   $ /opt/docker-desktop/bin/com.docker.diagnose gather
   ```

{{< /tab >}}
{{< /tabs >}}

The tool runs a suite of checks and displays **PASS** or **FAIL** next to each check. If there are any failures, it highlights the most relevant at the end of the report.

You can then create an issue on GitHub:

- [For Linux](https://github.com/docker/desktop-linux/issues)
- [For Mac](https://github.com/docker/for-mac/issues)
- [For Windows](https://github.com/docker/for-win/issues)

## Check the logs

In addition to using the diagnose option to submit logs, you can browse the logs yourself.

{{< tabs group="os" >}}
{{< tab name="Windows" >}}

In PowerShell, run:

```powershell
$ code $Env:LOCALAPPDATA\Docker\log
```

This opens up all the logs in your preferred text editor for you to explore.

{{< /tab >}}
{{< tab name="Mac" >}}

### From terminal

To watch the live flow of Docker Desktop logs in the command line, run the following script from your preferred shell.

```console
$ pred='process matches ".*(ocker|vpnkit).*" || (process in {"taskgated-helper", "launchservicesd", "kernel"} && eventMessage contains[c] "docker")'
$ /usr/bin/log stream --style syslog --level=debug --color=always --predicate "$pred"
```

Alternatively, to collect the last day of logs (`1d`) in a file, run:

```console
$ /usr/bin/log show --debug --info --style syslog --last 1d --predicate "$pred" >/tmp/logs.txt
```

### From the Console app

Mac provides a built-in log viewer, named **Console**, which you can use to check
Docker logs.

The Console lives in `/Applications/Utilities`. You can search for it with
Spotlight Search.

To read the Docker app log messages, type `docker` in the Console window search bar and press Enter. Then select `ANY` to expand the drop-down list next to your `docker` search entry, and select `Process`.
