| gfe-sendlogs.py |
| =============== |
| This is the initial version of the gemfire support utility to collect customer |
| log files. This script requires an active GemFire cluster as it uses gfsh |
| to collect logs, stack traces, and configuration. This python script uses |
| core python 2 libraries which should be installed by default on linux hosts. |
| |
| |
| The current usage |
| ================= |
| Usage: gfe-sendlogs.py -c <company> -o <output-dir> [OPTION] |
| |
| Required arguments |
| -c, --company=COMPANY company name |
| -o, --output-dir=DIR directory to stage logs |
| |
| Optional arguments |
| -l, --locator=LOCATOR locator to connect to (defaults to localhost) |
| -p, --port=PORT locator port to connect to (defaults to 10334) |
| -t, --ticket=TICKET_NUMBER ticket number |
| -u, --upload Upload zip file to pivotal FTP server for the GemFire support team. |
| -d, --do-not-remove-temp Don't cleanup the logs stored in the temporary location. |
| -f, --ftp-server=FTPSERVER Specify an FTP server (defaults to ftp.gemstone.com) |
| -v, --version Print version of this script. |
| |
| |
| Known Limitations |
| ================== |
| 1. The FTP upload action does not support proxies. |
| - This is a limitation of the core python FTP libraries. In order to use a |
| proxy we would need to resort to "non-standard" libraries which the end user would |
| need to install. |
| |
| 2. This requires an active GemFire cluster. |
| - This script is basically just a wrapper to gfsh and therefore requires that |
| the gemfire cluster be up and running and responding to gfsh queries. |
| |
| 3. This will not gather statistic files. |
| - There is currently no way to get statistic files from a cluster via gfsh. |
| Support for this may be added with a new version of this script that operates |
| outside of GemFire and works at the operating system level or as this feature |
| is implemented in gfsh. |
