The KB4Diag tool is an executable file that KnowBe4's support team uses to automatically gather issue-specific files, including event and security logs and other files for troubleshooting. The support team requests that users run this tool when they encounter issues with Active Directory Integration (ADI), Phish Alert Button (PAB), Weak Password Test, and RanSim.

After you download and run KB4Diag, the tool will gather all relevant files and package the files into a zip file. Then, you can send these files to the support technician from your ticket so that the support technician can view the files.
