Wallaroo Support Bundle Generation Guide

How to generate support bundles to troubleshoot Wallaroo

To track potential issues, Wallaroo provides a method to create a support bundle: a collection of logs, configurations, and other information that is submitted to Wallaroo support staff to determine where an issue may be and offer a correction.

Support bundles are generated depending on the method of installation:

  • kots: If Wallaroo was installed via kots, the support bundle is generated through the Wallaroo Administrative Dashboard.
  • helm: If Wallaroo was installed via helm, the support bundle is generated through a command line process.

Generating via Kots

At any time, the administration console can create troubleshooting bundles for Wallaroo technical support to assess product health and help with problems. Support bundles contain logs and configuration files which can be examined before downloading and transmitting to Wallaroo. The console also has a configurable redaction mechanism in cases where sensitive information such as passwords, tokens, or PII (Personally Identifiable Information) need to be removed from logs in the bundle.

Status Ready

To manage support bundles:

  1. Log into the administration console.
  2. Select the Troubleshoot tab.
  3. Select Analyze Wallaroo.
  4. Select Download bundle to save the bundle file as a compressed archive.
  5. Send the file to Wallaroo technical support.

At any time, any existing bundle can be examined and downloaded from the Troubleshoot tab.

Generating via Helm

If issues are detected in the Wallaroo instance, a support bundle file can be generated using the support-bundle.yaml file provided by the Wallaroo support representative. This creates a collection of log files, configuration files and other details into a .zip file that can be submitted to the Wallaroo support team for review.

This support bundle is generated through the following command:

kubectl support-bundle –interactive=false support-bundle.yaml
