# Exporting Logs with Control Panel

You can use the Veeam Agent control panel to collect and export product logs. When you export logs with the control panel, you can choose where Veeam Agent should save the resulting log archive.

To export logs:

1. Launch the Veeam Agent control panel with the `veeam` or `veeamconfig ui` command.
2. In the Veeam Agent control panel, press the [M] key to open the **Miscellaneous** menu.
3. In the menu, select the **Export Logs** option and press [Enter].

4. In the **Choose logs directory** window, specify the directory to which you want to save the log archive:

   1. In the **Choose logs directory** window, select the necessary directory and press [Enter].
   2. Repeat step 'a' until a path to the directory in which you want to save exported logs appears in the **Current directory** field.
   3. To create a new directory, switch to the **Create dir** button, press [Enter], then type a name for the new directory and press [Enter].
   4. Veeam Agent for IBM AIX will collect logs, export them to an archive file with the name `veeam-logs_AIX_<date>_<time>.tar.gz`, and save the archive to the current working directory.
