Web Control log file names and locations

Prev Next

The activity, error, and debug log files record events that occur on systems with Trellix ENS enabled.

All activity and debug log files are stored in the following default location:

%ProgramData%\McAfee\Endpoint Security\Logs

Each module, feature, or technology places activity or debug logging in a separate file. All modules place error logging in one file, EndpointSecurityPlatform_Errors.log.

Enabling debug logging for any module also enables debug logging for the Common module features, such as Self Protection.
