You can also retrieve the logs remotely without any specific setup.

• trigger a sysdianose.
• use Airdrop and share the sysdiagnose to your mac
• unarchive the sysdiagnose file. It will look like this:

Note: Searching and filtering is quite slow. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes. It might help if you filter out the dates you don't care about. You can do that by using the filer at the bottom. You have to wait until the loading archive spinner at the bottom right is done loading
