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 USD 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 USD oc adm must-gather -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs 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 ... Optionally, you can run the oc adm must-gather command in a specific namespace by using the --run-namespace option. Example command USD 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 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 Navigate to the directory where you want to store the debugging information. Run the oc adm must-gather command with the Red Hat OpenShift GitOps must-gather image: USD oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:<image_version_tag> 1 1 The must-gather image for GitOps. Example command USD oc adm must-gather --image=registry.redhat.io/openshift-gitops-1/must-gather-rhel8:v1.10.0 The must-gather tool creates a new directory that starts with ./must-gather.local in the current directory. For example, ./must-gather.local.4157245944708210399 . 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: USD tar -cvaf must-gather.tar.gz must-gather.local.4157245944708210399 1 1 Replace must-gather-local.4157245944708210399 with the actual directory name. Attach the compressed file to your support case on the Red Hat Customer Portal . 3.3. Additional resources Gathering data about specific features
