If OceanBase Diagnostic Tool (obdiag) is independently deployed, you can run the obdiag gather clog command to call the ob_admin tool on the target node to parse clog files and collect clogs within the specified time range. You can also run the obdiag gather slog command to call the ob_admin tool on the target node to parse slog files and collect slogs within the specified time range.

If your OceanBase cluster is deployed by using OceanBase Deployer (obd), you can run obdiag commands on obd to collect diagnostic information of the cluster. For more information about the commands, see obdiag commands.

Syntax

  • Collect clogs.

    obdiag gather clog --from "2023-01-16 18:25:00" --to "2023-01-17 01:30:00" \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ip=xx.xx.xx.1 \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].ip=xx.xx.xx.xx.2 \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.ssh_username=test \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.ssh_password=****** \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.home_path=/home/admin/oceanbase
    

    The output is as follows:

  • Collect slogs.

    obdiag gather slog --from "2023-01-16 18:25:00" --to "2023-01-17 01:30:00" \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ip=xx.xx.xx.1 \

        --config obcluster.servers.global.ssh_password=****** \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.home_path=/home/admin/oceanbase
    

    The output is as follows:

  • Collect slogs of nodes accessible to obdiag without a password.

    obdiag gather slog \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ip=xx.xx.xx.1 \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].ip=xx.xx.xx.xx.2 \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.home_path=/home/admin/oceanbase
    
  • Collect slogs of nodes with different SSH logon passwords.

    obdiag gather slog \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ip=xx.xx.xx.1 \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ssh_username=test1 \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].ssh_password=****** \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[0].home_path=/home/test2/oceanbase
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].ip=xx.xx.xx.xx.2
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].ssh_username=test2 \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].ssh_password=****** \
        --config obcluster.servers.nodes[1].home_path=/home/test2/oceanbase
    
  • Collect slogs of all nodes in a cluster with the connection information of the sys tenant specified. In this case, obdiag automatically obtains the IP addresses of all nodes in the cluster.

    obdiag gather slog \
        --config db_host=xx.xx.xx.xx \
        --config db_port=xxxx \
        --config tenant_sys.user=root@sys \
        --config tenant_sys.password=*** \
        --config obcluster.servers.global.home_path=/home/admin/oceanbase
    

Method 2: Use the commands with a configuration file

Before you run the commands, make sure that you have configured the logon information of the target nodes in the config.yml configuration file of obdiag. For more information, see Configure obdiag.

  • Collect clogs.

    obdiag gather clog --from "2023-01-16 18:25:00" --to "2023-01-17 01:30:00"
    
  • Collect slogs.

    obdiag gather slog --from "2023-01-16 18:25:00" --to "2023-01-17 01:30:00"
