# Replicated Troubleshoot
|
|
|
|
Replicated Troubleshoot is a framework for collecting, redacting and analyzing highly customizable diagnostic information about a Kubernetes cluster. Troubleshoot specs are created by 3rd-party application developers/maintainers and run by cluster operators in the initial and ongoing operation of those applications.
|
|
|
|
Troubleshoot provides two CLI tools as kubectl plugins (using [Krew](https://krew.dev)) `kubectl preflight` and `kubectl support-bundle`. Preflight provides pre-installation cluster conformance testing and validation (preflight checks) and support-bundle provides post-installation troubleshooting and diagnostics (support bundles).
|
|
|
|
## Preflight Checks
|
|
Preflight checks are an easy-to-run set of conformance tests that can be written to verify that specific requirements in a cluster are met.
|
|
|
|
To run a sample preflight check from a sample application, install the preflight kubectl plugin:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://krew.sh/preflight | bash
|
|
```
|
|
and run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl preflight https://preflight.replicated.com
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a details on creating the custom resource files that drive preflight checks, visit [creating preflight checks](https://troubleshoot.sh/docs/preflight/creating/).
|

|
## Support Bundle
|
|
A support bundle is an archive that's created in-cluster, by collecting logs, cluster information and executing specified commands (including redaction of sensitive information). After creating a support bundle, the cluster operator will normally deliver it to the 3rd-party application vendor for analysis and disconnected debugging. Another Replicated project, [Kotsadm](https://github.com/replicatedhq/kotsadm), provides cluster operators with in-cluster UI for processing support bundles and viewing analyzers (as well as support bundle collection).
|
|
|
|
To collect a sample support bundle, install the troubleshoot kubectl plugin:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
curl https://krew.sh/support-bundle | bash
|
|
```
|
|
and run:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
kubectl support-bundle https://troubleshoot.replicated.com
|
|
```
|
|
For details on creating the custom resource files that drive support-bundle collection [creating collectors](https://troubleshoot.sh/reference/collectors/overview/) and for analyzers [creating analyzers](https://troubleshoot.sh/reference/analyzers/overview/).
