[CP4AIOps MustGather] How to collect disk or PVC utilization data from cluster with problematic storage?

How To


Summary

Method to collect disk or PVC utilization data from cluster with problematic storage.

Environment

OCP Server = 4.16.47
OC Client = 4.16.47
CP4AIOps MustGather = 1.29.2
CP4AIOps = 4.11.0

Steps

(1) Download the latest CP4AIOps MustGather (link).
 
OR
 
Upgrade the current CP4AIOps MustGather to the latest version:
./waiops-mustgather.sh -UD
(2) If the CP4AIOps MustGather hung during disk or PVC utilization data collection (see example below):
Eg.
[Tue Aug 12 10:33:34 AM EDT 2025] [analyzeOcPvc] [7] PVC_DF_CMD = [oc exec -n cp4aiops common-service-db-1 -c postgres --request-timeout=15m -- timeout 15m bash -c 'echo; echo "(df -h)"; df -h /var/lib/postgresql/data; echo; echo "(du -sh)"; echo "Used    Filesystem"; du -sh /var/lib/postgresql/data; echo; echo "(df -i)"; df -i /var/lib/postgresql/data']
you should cancel or exit from the command by pressing 'Ctrl-C'.
(3) You can repeat the MustGather command, but add a runtime variable setting to it:
 
-W 'GET_PVC_USAGE_IN_SUBSHELL=true'
The variable instructs the MustGather to execute the disk or PVC utilization data collection in a subshell with an assigned timeout watcher.
The default timeout is 8 seconds and can be changed with "-W 'GET_PVC_USAGE_EXEC_TIMEOUT=<positive number>".
Eg.
-W 'GET_PVC_USAGE_IN_SUBSHELL=true##GET_PVC_USAGE_EXEC_TIMEOUT=5'
