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 viakots, the support bundle is generated through the Wallaroo Administrative Dashboard.helm: If Wallaroo was installed viahelm, 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.
To manage support bundles:
- Log into the administration console.
- Select the Troubleshoot tab.
- Select Analyze Wallaroo.
- Select
Download bundleto save the bundle file as a compressed archive. Depending on your browser settings the file download location can be specified. - 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 is 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 .tar.gz file in the same directory as the command is run from in the format support-bundle-YYYY-MM-DDTHH-MM-SS.tar.gz. This file is submitted to the Wallaroo support team for review.
This support bundle is generated through the following command:
kubectl support-bundle support-bundle.yaml --interactive=false
