Generate a diagnostic snapshotΒΆ
To simplify the interaction between development and operation, Decapod supports diagnostic or debug snapshots, similar to Fuel snapshots. A snapshot is an archive that contains all information required to debug and troubleshoot issues.
Snapshots store the following information:
- Backup of the database
- Logs from services
- File
docker-compose.yml
- Configuration files from Decapod services (
config.yaml
) - Datetimes from services
- Data from ceph-monitoring
- Version of installed packages
- Git commit SHAs of Decapod itself
- Information about docker and containers
Snapshots do not store Ansible private keys or user passwords. Passwords are hashed by Argon2.
To generate a diagnostic snapshot:
Run the script:
$ ./scripts/debug_snapshot.py snapshot
Alternatively, if you have containers only, follow the steps below.
Run the following command:
$ docker-compose exec -T admin cat /debug-snapshot | python - snapshot
Configure the snapshot settings as required:
$ docker-compose -p myproject exec -T admin cat /debug-snapshot | python - --help usage: - [-h] [-f COMPOSE_FILE] [-p PROJECT_NAME] snapshot_path Create a debug snapshot for Decapod. positional arguments: snapshot_path Path where to store snapshot (do not append extension, we will do it for you). optional arguments: -h, --help show this help message and exit -f COMPOSE_FILE, --compose-file COMPOSE_FILE path to docker-compose.yml file. (default: /vagrant/docker-compose.yml) -p PROJECT_NAME, --project-name PROJECT_NAME the name of the project. (default: vagrant) Please find all logs in syslog by ident 'decapod-debug-snapshot'. $ docker-compose -p myproject exec -T admin cat /debug-snapshot | python - -p myproject snapshot
As a result, you will get a snapshot like snapshot_path.*
. The snapshot
tool calculates the best compression algorithm available on your platform
and uses its extension. Therefore, the snapshot may look like
snapshot_path.tar.bz2
or snapshot_path.tar.xz
depending on how
your Python was built.
