As of v0.40.0 of Troubleshoot, you can now use host collectors and analyzers in support bundles. These are useful when you need to debug a Kubernetes cluster that is offline, troubleshoot a kURL install that failed before the control plane was initialized, or if you need to collect and analyze information that isn’t available in in-cluster collectors.
Follow these steps to use host collectors and analyzers to troubleshoot a Kubernetes cluster that is down:
- Install the support bundle binary on a host in the cluster you need to debug
curl -L https://github.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot/releases/latest/download/support-bundle_linux_amd64.tar.gz | tar xzvf -
NOTE: Presently, there is no method in Troubleshoot to run host collectors on remote nodes. If you have a multi-node Kubernetes cluster, you must run the support bundle binary on each node and generate a bundle for each.
- Generate the support bundle
sudo ./support-bundle --interactive=false https://raw.githubusercontent.com/replicatedhq/troubleshoot-specs/main/host/cluster-down.yaml
NOTE: You may need to run the above command with sudo if your current user doesn’t have the access to gather information for a specific collector
