We use Jamf Connect Menu to manage domain passwords on our Macs. I had an end user this week report that the countdown of their password displayed a "-1" instead of the 20 something days they thought they had left. I worked with Jamf Support and by the time the end user worked around to me for assistance, they had already changed their password and so, any logs which may have pointed to something helpful were overwritten and didn't help.
In light of that, I learned what Jamf Connect logs were most helpful in that situation and I created a script to gather them and upload them into Jamf. I'd like to share it here in case others may find it useful also. To be clear, I took what @kc9wwh (Josh Roskos) at Jamf had for uploading logs into Jamf and tweaked it to gather only the JC logs needed. (Thanks Josh...! He deserves the credit.). I configured the script with encrypted password strings. Josh explains all that on his post here: https://github.com/kc9wwh/logCollection
This script will pull the 3 Jamf Connect logs:
After this is ran, it's available as an attachment in the computer record of the end user who ran it. I decided to put it in Self Service and if anyone has the "-1" indicator on their Jamf Connect Menu bar, I will direct them to this. Hope others find it helpful as well.
#!/bin/bash

# Thanks Josh Roskos
# This script will pull important logs when you need to troubleshoot Jamf Connect.
# It will pull three logs: JamfConnect log, Heimdal log and pull the Jamf Connect State plist file.
# They get put into the folder: /tmp/jcLogs/ and then get zipped up in /tmp as one .zip file in this format:
# <compName>-<currentuser>-<date.time.stamp>.zip
