How To
Summary
Method to collect data from a pre-installation CP4AIOps cluster running on Linux/k3s.
Environment
OCP Server = 4.16.47
OC Client = 4.16.47
CP4AIOps MustGather = 1.29.1
CP4AIOps = 4.11.0
OC Client = 4.16.47
CP4AIOps MustGather = 1.29.1
CP4AIOps = 4.11.0
IMPORTANT: To use this feature, the node where the MustGather is running on must be able to access all the cluster nodes in a SSH passwordless way.
Steps
(1) Download the latest CP4AIOps MustGather (link).
OR
Upgrade the current CP4AIOps MustGather to the latest version:
./waiops-mustgather.sh -UD
(2) Make sure you have access to the environment variables shell script:
Eg.
# cat /tmp/a.sh

export APP_STORAGE_PATH="/var/lib/aiops/storage"
export PLATFORM_STORAGE_PATH="/var/lib/aiops/platform"
(3) Execute the following command:
export NON_CLOUD=true; ./waiops-mustgather.sh -DO k3s-preinstall -W 'AIOPS_VAR_SH=<full_path_to_env_var_sh_script>'
(4) The cluster data can be found in the "2-CLUSTERNODES" directory of the output file.
In the directory, there are data files for various commands and under the "FILES" subdirectory, there are data files for "aiopsctl".
