NAME¶

oc adm must-gather - Launch a new instance of a pod for gathering debug information

SYNOPSIS¶

oc adm must-gather [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION¶

Launch a pod to gather debugging information.

This command will launch a pod in a temporary namespace on your cluster that gathers debugging information and then downloads the gathered information.

OPTIONS¶

--dest-dir=""
Set a specific directory on the local machine to write gathered data to.

--host-network=false
Run must-gather pods as hostNetwork: true - relevant if a specific command and image needs to capture host-level data

--image=[]
Specify a must-gather plugin image to run. If not specified, OpenShift's default must-gather image will be used.

--image-stream=[]
Specify an image stream (namespace/name:tag) containing a must-gather plugin image to run.

--node-name=""
Set a specific node to use - by default a random master will be used

--node-selector=""
Set a specific node selector to use - only relevant when specifying a command and image which needs to capture data on a set of cluster nodes simultaneously

--run-namespace=""
An existing privileged namespace where must-gather pods should run. If not specified a temporary namespace will be generated.

--source-dir="/must-gather/"
Set the specific directory on the pod copy the gathered data from.

--timeout="10m"
The length of time to gather data, like 5s, 2m, or 3h, higher than zero. Defaults to 10 minutes.

--volume-percentage=30
Specify maximum percentage of must-gather pod's allocated volume that can be used. If this limit is exceeded, must-gather will stop gathering, but still copy gathered data. Defaults to 30%.
