ndb_error_reporter creates an archive from data node and management node log files that can be used to help diagnose bugs or other problems with a cluster. It is highly recommended that you make use of this utility when filing reports of bugs in NDB Cluster.
The following table includes command options specific to the NDB Cluster program ndb_error_reporter. Additional descriptions follow the table. For options common to most NDB Cluster programs (including ndb_error_reporter), see Section 20.4.32, “Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs — Options Common to NDB Cluster Programs”.

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 named config.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 named
ndb_error_report_,
where YYYYMMDDhhmmss.tar.bz2YYYYMMDDhhmmss is a datetime
string.
ndb_error_reporter also accepts the options listed here:
| Command-Line Format | --connection-timeout=timeout |
|---|---|
| Type | Integer |
| Default Value | 0 |
Wait this many seconds when trying to connect to nodes before timing out.
| Command-Line Format | --dry-scp |
|---|---|
| Type | Boolean |
| Default Value | TRUE |
Run ndb_error_reporter without using scp from remote hosts. Used for testing only.
| Command-Line Format | --fs |
|---|---|
| Type | Boolean |
| Default Value | FALSE |
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 do not send archives created using this option to Oracle unless you are specifically requested to do so.
| Command-Line Format | --connection-timeout=timeout |
|---|---|
| Type | Integer |
| Default Value | 0 |
Skip all nodes belong to the node group having the supplied node group ID.
