ovs-bugtool(8)		      Open vSwitch Manual		ovs-bugtool(8)

NAME
       ovs-bugtool - Open vSwitch bug reporting	utility

SYNOPSIS
       ovs-bugtool

DESCRIPTION
       Generates  a debug bundle with useful information about Open vSwitch on
       this system and places it in /var/log/ovs-bugtool.

COLLECTION OPTIONS
       These options influence what categories of data ovs-bugtool collects.

       --entries=list
	      Collect the capabilities specified in the	comma-separated	list.

       --all  Collect all available capabilities.

       --ovs  In addition to Open vSwitch configuration	and  status,  ovs-bug-
	      tool can collect a variety of relevant system information.  This
	      option limits collection to Open vSwitch-specific	categories.

       --log-days=days
	      Include  the  logs  with	last modification time in the previous
	      days days	in the debug bundle. The number	of log files  included
	      has  a big impact	on the eventual	bundle size. The default value
	      is 20 days.

       -y
       --yestoall
	      Answer yes to all	prompts.

       --capabilities
	      Writes the categories that ovs-bugtool can collect on stdout  in
	      XML, then	exits.

OUTPUT OPTIONS
       These  options influence	the format and destination of ovs-bugtool out-
       put.

       --output=filetype
	      Generates	a debug	bundle with the	specified file type.   Options
	      include tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and	zip.

       --outfile=file
	      Write output to file.  Mutually exclusive	with --outfd.

       --outfd=fd
	      Write  output  to	 file descriptor fd.  This option must be used
	      with --output=tar.

       --unlimited
	      Do not exclude files which are too  large.  Also	skip  checking
	      free  disk  space.  By default up	to 90 percent of the free disk
	      space can	be used.

       --debug
	      Print verbose debugging output.

OTHER OPTIONS
       -s
       --silent
	      Suppress most output to stdout.

       --help Print a summary of ovs-bugtool usage to stdout, then exit.

EXAMPLES
       Here's a	collection of some commonly useful options:

       ovs-bugtool -y -s --output=tar.gz --outfile=/var/log/bugtool-report.tgz

BUGS
       ovs-bugtool makes many assumptions about	file locations and the	avail-
       ability	of system utilities.  It has been tested on Debian and Red Hat
       and derived distributions.  On other distributions it is	likely	to  be
       less useful.
