in Bitdefender antivirus for mac


Hello,


I am looking for log files in the Mac version of BitDefender that show detailed information concerning scans and threat finds - do these exist?  I found some logs in /Library/Logs but all they contain is information about the agent - nothing at all about the scans, scanned locations, threats, actions taken, etc.


Thanks.

    Hello,


     


    Agent logs : /Library/Logs/Bitdefender


    Scan Logs : /Library/Application Support/Antivirus for Mac/Logs


    Unresolved issues : com.bitdefender.coreissues.antivirus.plist


    Everything that has been detected : com.bitdefender.coreiessues.history.plist

    Hi Sorin,


    Thanks for this information.  So it appears all log data is in plist (i.e. XML) format.  The data is somewhat cumbersome to access in this format as compared to what it typically output from utilities such as syslog.  I meant the XML is awesome if one intends to pump this data into some other presentation system so was that BitDefender's intent?  That these XMLs would be used by some other logging system?
