🎀 NAME 🎀

ceph-debugpack — the ceph debug packer utility. it packs. it debugs. it's giving helpful. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ceph-debugpack [ options ] filename.tar.gz

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, ceph-debugpack will build a tarball stuffed with various items that are useful for debugging crashes. literally that's the whole point. and then you can share that resulting tarball with Ceph developers when you're debugging a problem — they eat that up fr fr. 🫶

and what's inside this little tarball, you ask? let me tell you, it's a whole bundle:

• the binaries for ceph-mds, ceph-osd, and ceph-mon
• radosgw
• any log files
• the ceph.conf configuration file
• any core files we can find
• and, if the system is running, dumps of the current cluster state as reported by ceph report

not me assembling the entire crime scene for you 🔥 iconic behaviour honestly.

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

• -c ceph.conf, --conf=ceph.conf — use the ceph.conf configuration file instead of the default /etc/ceph/ceph.conf to determine monitor addresses during startup. yes bestie, you can point it somewhere else if your config isn't living at the default address 💜
