The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for remote collection and management of diagnostic information. Embodiments of the invention facilitate remote configuration, management, and collection of diagnostic results. A remote diagnostic system connects to the local diagnostics of a service or computer system in a non-invasive way to collect diagnostic information. Filter and subscription requests are used to guide the collection and retention of diagnostic information. A diagnostic user connects to the remote diagnostic system to dynamically change the filter and subscription requests as part of a diagnostic process. The collected diagnostic information can then be transmitted to interested system operators using either syndication subscriptions or push subscriptions.
