💖 CTDB_DIAGNOSTICS(1) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the CTDB - clustered TDB database manual, and today we're doing ctdb_diagnostics. grab a snack. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

ctdb_diagnostics — dump diagnostic information about CTDB/Samba installation

like, it's the girl who takes screenshots of everything so you can figure out what went wrong later. 📸

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ctdb_diagnostics [OPTIONS] ...

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So ctdb_diagnostics is used to dump diagnostic information about a clustered Samba installation. And when we say dump, we mean dump. This includes:

  • configuration files
  • output of relevant commands
  • logs

All of that info can be used to check the correctness of the configuration</and> and to diagnose problems. it's giving "the receipts, all of them, in one folder" 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -n <nodes> — comma separated list of nodes to operate on. yes, comma separated, don't be out here using spaces, she will not understand you. 🙈
  • -c — ignore comment lines (starting with '#') in file comparisons. lowkey essential when your config files are 90% vibes and 10% settings. ✨
  • -w — ignore whitespace in file comparisons. because sometimes the only difference is a sneaky space and honestly? not the moment. 😭
  • --no-ads — do not use commands that assume an Active Directory Server. no AD today bestie, we're keeping it local. 🫶
