    The endpoint insights feature in Prisma Access Agent supports the on-demand collection of diagnostics to help troubleshoot agent and endpoint issues. As an administrator, you can remotely collect comprehensive diagnostic data including logs, agent status, and system information at any time without any end-user involvement.
    When you trigger a diagnostic session, the system automatically captures a complete snapshot of the endpoint's current state including tunnel status, gateway information, session duration, MTU settings, and operating system details. The system will also simultaneously collect delta logs from the previous 10 minutes to preserve critical troubleshooting context.
    To initiate on-demand diagnostics collection:
    1. In Strata Cloud Manager, select ManagePrisma Access Agent.
    2. In the Devices table, navigate to the device for which you want to trigger the collection of diagnostics, select the check box next to the device, and select ActionsCollect Diagnostics.
    3. Click Yes in the confirmation dialog.
      The Jobs button appears or changes to indicate that the collect diagnostics job has been added to the queue.
    4. To view the status of the diagnostics collection job, click Jobs. The status of the job appears in the Remote Jobs window.
    5. Select View Details to open the Insights window for the selected device, where you can view and analyze the diagnostics that you generated.
