+        Now the Elastic Agent logs to `logs/elastic-agent-{hash}` by default.
+        The upgrade watcher also logs to this folder with the `elastic-agent-watcher-[DATE]` suffix.
+        When collecting the logs, the diagnostics command also collects the watcher logs and the logs of
+        a possible new version if the agent which failed during upgrade and then it was rolled back to the
+        previous version.
