How to collect ROLLER Connect log files

If restarting ROLLER Connect did not resolve your issue then you will need to contact ROLLER Support for further assistance. To help us get to the bottom of your problem as quickly as possible, please collect the ROLLER Collect logs from your POS computer and attach them in your support request.

To collect the logs, do the following:

  1. Navigate to C:\ProgramData\ROLLER
  2. Right click on the Logs folder and select Send to and then Compressed (zipped) folder
  3. Send this folder to ROLLER Support to investigate

ROLLER Connect logs are only stored in this folder for a maximum of 7 days and depending on how much activity there is on your POS the logs will be stored for a shorter period. Therefore, it is important to collect and send the log files to ROLLER Support without delay.
