Diagnostic Tool The Diagnostic Tool is designed to aid troubleshooting McAfee DLP Endpoint problems on Microsoft Windows endpoint computers. It is not supported on OS X computers. The Diagnostic Tool gathers information on the performance of client software. The IT team uses this information to troubleshoot problems and tune policies. When severe problems exist, it can be used to collect data for analysis by the McAfee DLP development team. The tool is installed with the McAfee DLP Endpoint client software package.
