DBAAS Tooling: Using dbaascli to Collect Cloud Tooling Logs and Perform a Cloud Tooling Health Check

Using the dbaascli diag command allows you to collect domU dbaas tooling logs for Exadata Cloud Service and Exadata Cloud@Customer systems. You can use these logs to troubleshoot issues related to dbaas tooling.

Starting with DBaaS Tools Cloud Tooling RPM 21.2.1, you can use the diag command to collect dbaastools logs and perform a health check on all nodes in an Exadata cluster.

Note

dbaascli diag commands must be run as the root user
Running the dbaascli diag collect command on a single node will collect log data for all nodes
We recommend running the commands documented in this topic using the nohup option for long-running commands. Redirect the command output to a location you can monitor.

For information on updating Exadata Cloud Tooling, see How to upgrade DBAAS Cloud Tooling using dbaascli (Doc ID 2350471.1).

Syntax for Collecting Tooling Log Data

The dbaascli dbaascli diag collect command uses the syntax shown below to collect tooling log data:

dbaascli diag collect [parameters]


Parameter	Description	Required	Accepted Values	Default Values
--help	Access help for the command.	No	not applicable	none
--destLocation	The domU directory location to store collected logs.	No	A valid full path location present on all nodes in the cluster.	If parameter is not specified, system collects log files as follows: System collects logs at `/var/opt/oracle/dbaas_acfs`. If that location cannot be used, system collects logs at `/u02`. Command output displays which directory location is being used to collect logs.
--dbNames	The dbName value of the database for which you want to collect logs. Currently, only one dbName can be specified per command.	No	A valid dbName value for the system.	none
--startTime	The start time for log collection. Requires the use of the --endTime parameter.	No	Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MM:SS. Must be used together with the `--endTime` parameter.	If parameter is not specified, system sets start time as 24 hours prior to the current system time.
--endTime	The start time for log collection. Requires the use of the --startTime parameter.	No	Format: YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MM:SS. Must be used together with the `--startTime` parameter.	If parameter is not specified, system sets end time as current system time.
--nodes	A comma-separated list of nodes to collect logs.	No	Format: node1,node2	If parameter is not specified, system collects logs for all nodes in the cluster.
--components	A list of components for log collection.	No	One of: db\|gi\|os\|dbaastools\|all	If parameter is not specified, logs are collected for dbaastools.
--objectStoreBucketUri	An Object Storage service pre-authenticated request (PAR) URL used to upload collected logs. Logs are collected from domU. See Using Pre-Authenticated Requests for more information.	No	URL that has been pre-authenticated.	none
