Nightfall Agent: How to Collect macOS Agent Logs

Last updated: January 7, 2026

Context

The purpose is to identify where the macOS agent logs are stored to either examine them or provide them to Nightfall Technical Support.

Answer

Navigate to the two directories below and copy the files to share with Technical Support:

  • Root Account:

sudo -s
cd /var/root/Library/"Application Support"/NightfallAIAgent/Logs
  • User Account:

cd ~/Library/"Application Support"/NightfallAIAgent/Logs

Note: The log files in both locations will follow the naming convention of:

"ai.nightfall.endpoint year-month-day--time.log"
