CRM_REPORT(8)

CRM_REPORT(8) 💅 the cluster-reporting bestie era

okay so this is crm_report, part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager ✨ like the glow-up your cluster reports have been waiting for.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

crm_report [options] [DEST]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

crm_report — Create archive of everything needed when reporting cluster problems 🎀

ngl bestie, that's the whole vibe: your cluster is being weird, so you scoop up literally everything a human would need to figure out why, and you put it in one archive. iconic behavior.

💖 Required option: 💖

• -f, --from TIME — the time prior to the problems beginning (as "YYYY-M-D H:M:S" including the quotes, dontcha dare forget them 🙈)

yes bestie, it's required. no -f, no archive. periodt.

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -V — increase verbosity, and yes you can specify it multiple times — stack that verbosity like your fave lip gloss ✨
• -h, --help — display this message (the classic "help me help you" move)
• -v, --version — display software version
• --features — display software features
• -t, --to TIME — the time at which all problems were resolved (as "YYYY-M-D H:M:S" including the quotes; default "now")
• -n, --nodes NODES — node names for this cluster (only needed if the cluster is not active on this host; accepts -n "a b" or -n a -n b — both slay, pick your vibe)
• -M — do not search for cluster logs 🚫🔍
• -l, --logfile FILE — log file to collect (in addition to detected logs if -M is not specified; may be specified multiple times — so you can list your faves)
• -p PATT — an additional regular expression to match variables to be masked in output (default: "passw.*") 🫣
• -L PATT — an additional regular expression to match in log files for analysis (default: CRIT: ERROR:)
• -S, --single-node — don't attempt to collect data from other nodes, main character energy only 💅
• -c, --cluster TYPE — force the cluster type instead of detecting (currently only corosync is supported)
• -C, --corosync — force the cluster type to corosync, no detection needed
• -u, --user USER — username to use when collecting data from other nodes (default root)
• -D, --max-depth — search depth to use when attempting to locate files 🌊
• -e, --rsh — command to use to run commands on other nodes (default ssh -T)
• -d, --as-directory — leave result as a directory tree instead of archiving (for the girlies who like to browse)
• --sos-mode — use defaults suitable for being called by sosreport tool (behavior subject to change and not useful to end users) 🙈
• DEST, --dest DEST — custom destination directory or file name ✨

crm_report works best when run from a cluster node on a running cluster, but (good news!!) it can be run from a stopped cluster node or a Pacemaker Remote node too 🫶

If neither --nodes nor --single-node is given, crm_report will guess the node list, but may have trouble detecting Pacemaker Remote nodes 😭 Unless --single-node is given, the node names (whether specified by --nodes or detected automatically) must be resolvable and reachable via the command specified by -e/--rsh using the user specified by -u/--user. like they have to actually answer the phone, yk?

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

crm_report -f "2011-12-14 13:05:00" unexplained-apache-failure
crm_report -f 2011-12-14 -t 2011-12-15
something-that-took-multiple-days crm_report -f 13:05:00   -t
13:12:00   brief-outage

and that's the whole page bestie, go forth and collect those logs 🦋
