Usage

ndb_error_reporterpath/to/config-file [username] [options]

This utility is intended for use on a management node host, and requires the path to the management host configuration file (usually namedconfig.ini). Optionally, you can supply the name of a user that is able to access the cluster's data nodes using SSH, to copy the data node log files.ndb_error_reporter then includes all of these files in archive that is created in the same directory in which it is run. The archive is namedndb_error_report_YYYYMMDDhhmmss.tar.bz2, whereYYYYMMDDhhmmss is a datetime string.

ndb_error_reporter also accepts the options listed here:

  • --connection-timeout=timeout

    Command-Line Format--connection-timeout=#
    TypeInteger
    Default Value0

    Wait this many seconds when trying to connect to nodes before timing out.

  • --dry-scp

    Command-Line Format--dry-scp

    Runndb_error_reporter without using scp from remote hosts. Used for testing only.

  • --help

    Command-Line Format--help

    Display help text and exit.

  • --fs

    Command-Line Format--fs

    Copy the data node file systems to the management host and include them in the archive.

    Because data node file systems can be extremely large, even after being compressed, we ask that you please donot send archives created using this option to Oracle unless you are specifically requested to do so.

  • --skip-nodegroup=nodegroup_id

    Command-Line Format--connection-timeout=#
    TypeInteger
    Default Value0
