Crescendo is a real time event viewer for macOS that uses the ESF to show process executions and forks, file events, share mounting events, kernel extension loads, and IPC event data. ESF provides a vast amount of data, but the goal was to just pick out the things that analysts would be interested in when analyzing a piece of malware or trying. Crescendo is a swift based, real time event viewer for macOS. It utilizes Apple’s Endpoint Security Framework. Apple has introduced some new security mechanisms that we need to enable to get Crescendo running. Ensure that you have moved the app to your /Applications director or the system extension will fail to load.
-->There are three types of log files automatically produced by the client that can be leveraged to assist in troubleshooting Microsoft Teams.
Debug logs
Media logs
Desktop logs
When creating a support request with Microsoft Support, the support engineer will require the debug logs. Having these logs on hand before creating the support request will allow Microsoft to quickly start troubleshooting the problem. Media or desktop logs are only required if requested by Microsoft.
The following table outlines the various clients, and their associated logs. Log files are stored in locations specific to the client and operating system.
Client | Debug | Desktop | Media |
---|---|---|---|
Web | X | - | - |
Windows | X | X | X |
Mac OSX | X | X | X |
Linux | X | X | X |
iOS | - | - | - |
Android | - | - | - |

These are the most common logs and are required for all Microsoft support cases. Debug logs are produced by the Windows and Mac desktop clients, as well as browser based clients. The logs are text based and are read from the bottom up. They can be read using any text based editor and new logs are created when logging into the client.
Debug logs show the following data flows:
Login
Connection requests to middle tier services
Call/conversation
The debug logs are produced using the following OS specific methods:
Windows:
