     --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-bugtool
	    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

     --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

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

BUGS
     ovs-bugtool makes many assumptions about file locations and the  availabil-
     ity  of system utilities.	It has been tested on Debian and Red Hat and de-
     rived distributions.  On other distributions it is likely to be  less  use-
     ful.
