Chapter 3. Gathering diagnostic information for support

When you open a support case, you must provide debugging information about your cluster to the Red Hat Support team. You can use the must-gather tool to collect diagnostic information for project-level resources, cluster-level resources, and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps components. 

Note

For prompt support, provide diagnostic information for both OpenShift Container Platform and Red Hat OpenShift GitOps.

3.1. About the must-gather tool

The oc adm must-gather CLI command collects the information from your cluster that is most likely needed for debugging issues, including:

  • Resource definitions
  • Service logs

By default, the oc adm must-gather command uses the default plugin image and writes into ./must-gather.local.

Alternatively, you can collect specific information by running the command with the appropriate arguments as described in the following sections:

  • To collect data related to one or more specific features, use the --image argument with an image, as listed in a following section.

    Example command

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:v1.10.0

  • To collect the audit logs, use the -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs argument, as described in a following section.

    Example command

    $ oc adm must-gather -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Note

    Audit logs are not collected as part of the default set of information to reduce the size of the files.

When you run oc adm must-gather, a new pod with a random name is created in a new project on the cluster. The data is collected on that pod and saved in a new directory that starts with must-gather.local. This directory is created in the current working directory.

Example pod

NAMESPACE                      NAME                 READY   STATUS      RESTARTS      AGE
...
openshift-must-gather-5drcj    must-gather-bklx4    2/2     Running     0             72s
openshift-must-gather-5drcj    must-gather-s8sdh    2/2     Running     0             72s
...
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Optionally, you can run the oc adm must-gather command in a specific namespace by using the --run-namespace option.

Example command

$ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:v1.10.0

3.2. Collecting debugging data for Red Hat OpenShift GitOps
Copiar enlace

Use the oc adm must-gather CLI command to collect the following details about the cluster that is associated with Red Hat OpenShift GitOps:

  • The subscription and namespace of the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator.
  • The namespaces where ArgoCD objects are available and the objects in those namespaces, such as ArgoCD, Applications, ApplicationSets, AppProjects, and configmaps.
  • A list of the namespaces that are managed by the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator, and resources from those namespaces.
  • All GitOps-related custom resource objects and definitions.
  • Operator and Argo CD logs.
  • Warning and error-level events.

Prerequisites

  • You have logged in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as an administrator.
  • You have installed the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (oc).
  • You have installed the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps Operator.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the debugging information.

  2. Run the oc adm must-gather command with the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps must-gather image: 

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:<image_version_tag>
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    The must-gather image for GitOps.

    Example command

    $ oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:v1.10.0
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The must-gather tool creates a new directory that starts with ./must-gather.local in the current directory. For example, ./must-gather.local.4157245944708210399.

  3. Create a compressed file from the directory that was just created. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux operating system, run the following command: 

    $ tar -cvaf must-gather.tar.gz must-gather.local.4157245944708210399
    1
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    1
    Replace must-gather-local.4157245944708210399 with the actual directory name.
  4. Attach the compressed file to your support case on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
