This article describes two different methods to locate and zip the Intel® DSA folders.
The files and logs in these Intel® DSA folders provide information on all the changes that happen during updates, scans and initialization of the Intel® DSA. If experiencing issues with scanning of Intel® DSA, our developers will need these folders to help root cause and resolve the issue.

The zip file can then be provided to an Intel agent or uploaded to an Intel Community post.
