NAME¶

scatool - Supportconfig Analysis (SCA) Tool

SYNOPSIS¶

scatool [OPTIONS] [archive_or_server]

DESCRIPTION¶

The scatool is used to analyze the local server using supportconfig and the Supportconfig Analysis patterns.

OPTIONS¶

-h

Displays the help screen.

-s

Run supportconfig on the local server and analyze it. The archive_or_server is not required when using -s because the local hostname is assumed.

-o path

The HTML report file will be written to this directory. If -o is not specified, the output file will be in the same location as the supportconfig file or directory.

-e list

Send the HTML report to the email address(es) provided. Comma separated list.

-p

Prints a pattern summary of installed patterns. The summary includes the pattern directory and the number of patterns it contains.

-r

Remove the supportconfig tar ball or directory after analysis. The default behavior is to keep it.

-v

Run in verbose mode.

FILES¶

/etc/sca/scatool.conf

EXAMPLES¶

scatool -s

Runs supportconfig on the local host and analyzes its output. It saves the HTML report file to the same location at the supportconfig with the same name, but ending in .html.

scatool /var/log/scc_localhost_131107_1315.txz

Analyzes the supportconfig archive file specified. The path can be a tarred compressed supportconfig archive or a supportconfig extracted directory, either will work. The HTML report file is saved in the save location as the supportconfig archive or directory.

scatool /var/log/scc_localhost_131107_1315

Analyzes the supportconfig archive extracted directory.

scatool -sr -o /opt/sca/reports/

Runs supportconfig on the local host. It saves the HTML report file in the output path specified instead of the default path of the supportconfig tarball. Once the analysis is complete, delete the supportconfig archive file and directory. The -r is the same as REMOVE_ARCHIVE=1 in /etc/sca/scatool.conf.

scatool sles_server.company.com

Establishes an ssh connection to sles_server.company.com to run a supportconfig on the server. The supportconfig is then copied back to the local host to be analyzed. The HTML report file is saved to the default /var/log directory.
