        Hi,

         

        I am testing IKEv2 with OS X 10.11.4 Beta (15E27e) and can see neagent and nesessionmanager log entries in the /var/log/system.log when using the Console app.

         

        Is there way to increase the level of detail of the neagent and nesessionmanager log entries - i.e. to move from a standard logging level to a diag logging level ?

         

        Many thanks in advance.

          Is there way to increase the level of detail … ?

          Yes there is.  This is controlled by the LogLevel preference in the com.apple.networkextension.control domain.  There’s also a LogToFile preference that causes these entries to be written to a file.  The standard procedure we send to folks who report a bug against Network Extension framework is:

          $ defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.control.plist LogLevel 6
$ defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.control.plist LogToFile 1
$ # Reproduce the problem
$ /System/Library/Frameworks/SystemConfiguration.framework/Resources/get-mobility-info
$ defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.control.plist LogLevel 5
$ defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.control.plist LogToFile 0
$ # Attach the .tar.gz file produced by get-mobility-info to the bug

          Assuming you’re not actually filing a bug, you should adapt this to meet your specific requirements.
