In case of data collection issues you will need to troubleshoot Simple Diagnostic agent logs .
In some cases you might need to get further details after you see an error message in the standard SDA logs in Agent Internals. In such cases you will need to enable application specific logging. E.g. activate debug logging in order to analyze issues with a specific application or component of the SDA
For E.g.: You saw an error in agent internals like

Following Application components of SDA for which logging can be enabled.
| Application / Component | Name (Column in Log Configuration Dialog) |
| JCo | com.sap.solman.agent.conn.jco |
| MAI | com.sap.solman.agent.mai |
| SDA Core | com.sap.solman.agent.core |
