Generating a log bundle using the CLI

You can generate a log bundle using the CLI if you are unable to generate it using UCP Advisor.

1. Log on to the UCP Advisor VM as a ucpadmin user.
2. Identify the UCP Advisor version. Enter:

   kubectl -n ucp get crd consolidationinformations.ucp.hitachivantara.com -ojson |grep -w storedVersions -A 2

   Sample output:

   "storedVersions": ["v6"]

3. Create a yaml file in an editor:

   apiVersion: ucp.hitachivantara.com/<stored version>
   kind: GenerateLogBundle
   metadata:
     name: <name of the log bundle>
   spec:
     timestamp: now

   Sample yaml file:

   apiVersion: ucp.hitachivantara.com/v6
   kind: GenerateLogBundle
   metadata:
     name: test
   spec:
     timestamp: now

4. Exit the edit mode. Press the Esc key.
5. Save the changes. Enter:

   :wq

6. Generate the log bundle using the yaml file that you just created. Enter:

   $ kubectl -n ucp apply -f <yaml file name>

7. Check the status of the log bundle generation. Enter:

   $ kubectl -n ucp get glb

8. (Optional) Verify the details of the log bundle generation task. Enter:

   $ kubectl -n ucp describe glb

   After the status of the log bundle generation task is Normal, you can find the newly generated log bundle, UCP_Advisor_Log_Bundle_MMDDYYYY_HH:MM:SS.zip in the /var/ucpadvisor/logbundles/archives folder of the UCP Advisor VM. The log bundle is also listed in UCP Advisor under Settings > Support Log.
