Hi,

I don't know if this is well-known, but at least on Mac, one can make
galileod write unencrypted logs by adding

    <encryptLogs value="false" />

to /Library/Preferences/galileo_config.xml

At which point all logs will be saved in cleartext in
/var/log/com.fitbit.galileo.logs.

The same thing works on Windows but the file to edit is
C:\ProgramData\FitbitConnect\fitbit_connect_config.xml.

Hope this helps someone with the reverse engineering process...
