COLLECTION OPTIONS         top

       These options influence what categories of data ovs-bugtool collects.

       --entries=list
              Collect the capabilities specified in the comma-separated
              list.

       --all  Collect all available capabilities.

       --ovs  In addition to Open vSwitch configuration and status,
              ovs-bugtool can collect a variety of relevant system
              information.  This option limits collection to Open vSwitch-
              specific categories.

       --log-days=days
              Include the logs with last modification time in the previous
              days days in the debug bundle. The number of log files
              included has a big impact on the eventual bundle size. The
              default value is 20 days.

       -y
       --yestoall
              Answer yes to all prompts.

       --capabilities
              Writes the categories that ovs-bugtool can collect on stdout
              in XML, then exits.

OUTPUT OPTIONS         top

       These options influence the format and destination of ovs-bugtool
       output.

       --output=filetype
              Generates a debug bundle with the specified file type.
              Options include tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, and zip.

       --outfile=file
              Write output to file.  Mutually exclusive with --outfd.

       --outfd=fd
              Write output to file descriptor fd.  This option must be used
              with --output=tar.

       --unlimited
              Do not exclude files which are too large. Also skip checking
              free disk space.  By default up to 90 percent of the free disk
              space can be used.

       report.tgz

BUGS         top

       ovs-bugtool makes many assumptions about file locations and the
       availability of system utilities.  It has been tested on Debian and
       Red Hat and derived distributions.  On other distributions it is
       likely to be less useful.
