The support collector allows to collect relevant information from servers. The resulting ZIP file can be given to second to get an insight into the system.
WARNING: DO NOT transfer the generated file over insecure connections, it contains potential sensitive information!
If you are a customer, you can contact us at support@netways.de or netways.de/en/contact/.
Inspired by NETWAYS/icinga2-diagnostics.
WARNING: Some passwords or secrets are automatically removed, but this no guarantee, so be careful what you share!
The --hide flag can be used multiple times to hide sensitive data, it supports regular expressions.
# support-collector --hide "Secret:.*" --hide "Password:.*"
In addition, files and folders that follow a specific pattern are not collected. This affects all files that correspond to the following filters:
.*, *~, *.key, *.csr, *.crt, and *.pem
By default, we collect all we can find. You can control this by only enabling certain modules, or disabling some.
If you want to see what is collected, add --verbose
To collect advanced data for module Icinga 2, you can use the Icinga 2 API to collect data from all endpoints provided.
The API requests are performed with a global API user you have to create yourself. Just create that user in a global zone like 'director-global'

A brief overview about the modules, you can check the source code under modules for what exactly is collected.
Most modules check if the component is installed before trying to collect data. If the module is not detected, it will not be collected.
