# crm\_report(8)

Part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager

## NAME

crm\_report - Part of the Pacemaker cluster resource manager

## SYNOPSIS

**crm\_report** \[*options*\] \[*DEST*\]

## DESCRIPTION

crm\_report - Create archive of everything needed when reporting cluster problems

### Required option:

- **-f**, **--from** TIME

  time prior to problems beginning (as "YYYY-M-D H:M:S" including the quotes)

## OPTIONS

- **-V**

  increase verbosity (may be specified multiple times)

- **-h**, **--help**

  display this message

- **-v**, **--version**

  display software version

- **--features**

  display software features

- **-t**, **--to** TIME

  time at which all problems were resolved (as "YYYY-M-D H:M:S" including the quotes; default "now")

- **-T**, **--cts** TEST

  CTS test or set of tests to extract

- **--cts-log**

  CTS master logfile

- **-n**, **--nodes** NODES

  node names for this cluster (only needed if cluster is not active on this host; accepts **-n** "a b" or **-n** a **-n** b)

- **-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)

- **-p** PATT

  additional regular expression to match variables to be masked in output (default: "passw.\*")

- **-L** PATT

  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

- **-c**, **--cluster** TYPE

  force the cluster type instead of detecting (currently only corosync is supported)

- **-C**, **--corosync**

  force the cluster type to be corosync

- **-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

- **--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 can be run from a stopped cluster node or a Pacemaker Remote node.

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.
