calicoctl diags commands
calicoctl diags
This command is used to gather diagnostic information from a Calico node. This is usually used when trying to diagnose an issue that may be related to your Calico network.
The output of the command explains how to automatically upload the diagnostics to http://transfer.sh for easy sharing of the data. Note that the uploaded files will be deleted after 14 days.
This command must be run on the specific Calico node that you are gathering diagnostics for.
Command syntax:
calicoctl diags [--log-dir=<LOG_DIR>]
--log-dir=<LOG_DIR> The directory for logs [default: /var/log/calico]
The --log-dir
flag allows you to specify which directory the Calico logs are
stored in if the default log directory /var/log/calico
is not being
used. The log directory will not be the default if a specific directory was
passed into the calicoctl node
command.
Examples:
$ calicoctl diags
