Usage¤

As with other CLI functions, the must-gather will run against the currently connected cluster, use oc login to connect to a cluster before running mas must-gather.

# Start the container in docker
docker run -ti --rm -v /~:/mnt/home --pull always quay.io/ibmmas/cli
# Login to the cluster and run the must-gather, which will be available in the home directory on the local system
oc login --token=xxx --server=https://xxx:xxx
mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather
# Start the container in podman
podman run -ti --rm -v /~:/mnt/home:z --pull always quay.io/ibmmas/cli
# Login to the cluster and run the must-gather, which will be available in the home directory on the local system
oc login --token=xxx --server=https://xxx:xxx
mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather

Examples¤

Cluster-scoped must-gather: Collect data for all MAS instances, critical cluster resources, and most MAS dependencies (Db2, Cloud Pak Foundational Services, Cloud Pak for Data, etc).

mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather

Include secret data: By default secret data is not included in the must-gather archive, only the existence of the secret is recorded and how many fields it contains. Adding the --secret-data flag will trigger the inclusion of the secret data as well.

mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather --secret-data

Quick must-gather: This must-gather will omit pod logs and details of standard Kubernetes resources, it runs incredibly fast but it's usage is situational.

mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather --summary-only

Target a specific MAS instance: By setting ---mas-instance-ids to a comma-separated list of instance IDs you can instruct the must-gather to focus on specific instances only.

mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather --mas-instance-ids inst1

Target specific applications: Setting --mas-app-ids to a comma-separated list of MAS application IDs will restict the MAS-specific must-gather to those applications only, which can be combined with --no-ocp, --no-dependencies, --no-sls, & --mas-instance-ids to focus the collection to a specific namespace/MAS application.

# Target Core in inst1
mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather --no-ocp --no-dependencies --no-sls --mas-instance-ids "inst1" --mas-app-ids "core"

# Target Core + Manage in inst2
mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather --no-ocp --no-dependencies --no-sls --mas-instance-ids "inst2" --mas-app-ids "core,manage"

Execute the Must-Gather in non-interactive mode¤

docker run --rm -v /~:/mnt/home:z quay.io/ibmmas/cli /bin/bash -c "oc login --token=sha256~XFnSk...fc8U --server=https://api.<openshift domain>:6443/ --insecure-skip-tls-verify; mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather"

Execute the Must-Gather in non-interactive mode using podman¤

podman run --rm -v /data:/mnt/home:z quay.io/ibmmas/cli /bin/bash -c "oc login --token=sha256~XFnSk...fc8U --server=https://api.<openshift domain>:6443/ --insecure-skip-tls-verify; mas must-gather -d /mnt/home/must-gather"
