 ## On-demand log collection
 
-On-demand log collection involves manually collecting and sending diagnostic logs to Microsoft using the `Send-DiagnosticData` cmdlet from any node within the Azure Stack HCI cluster. When you run this cmdlet, the logs are temporarily copied locally. This copy is parsed, sent to Microsoft, and then deleted from your system. Microsoft retains this diagnostic data for up to 30 days and handles it as per the [standard privacy practices](https://privacy.microsoft.com/).
+On-demand log collection involves manually collecting and sending diagnostic logs to Microsoft. After you collect logs, they're sent to the Kusto database. Microsoft Support can then use the information provided to locate your logs in Kusto and help you in resolving the reported issue.
