NAME
     diagnostics_agent – Triggers log submission

DESCRIPTION
     diagnostics_agent is a system process with runs periodically. It collects
     diagnostics and usage data and logs it for later submission to Apple.
     Additionally, diagnostics_agent periodically initiates the log submission
     process.

     Sending diagnostic and usage reports to Apple helps us improve the
     quality and performance of our products and services.  It helps Apple
     identify common usage trends and issues that enable us to allocate our
     resources efficiently, and it helps us provide better support services to
     you and other customers.  All of the diagnostic and usage information is
     collected anonymously from your computer in a way that does not
     personally identify you.

     Automatic reporting of diagnostic information is off by default and no
     information is sent to Apple unless a user has opted-in to automatic
     collection of diagnostic information.  A user is offered the opportunity
     to opt-in for automatic collection of additional diagnostic and usage
     information after the user has manually sent a crash, hang or panic
     report to Apple.  Users may at any time opt in or out of automatic
     reporting in the Security & Privacy pane of the System Preferences
     application under the "Privacy" tab.
