Diagnostics Utility

The diagnostics utility gathers up database logs along with other useful information into a single .zip file.

Syntax

/opt/vertica/bin/diagnostics [ command... ]

Semantics

command	-h --help	shows a help message and exits
	-l --listdbs	lists the running databases
	-s --local_diags	gather diagnostics for local machine only
	-d dbname --database dbname	retrieves information about the database dbname

Notes

In most cases, running /opt/vertica/bin/diagnostics without any arguments should be sufficient; it reports on all databases and all nodes.
The diagnostics utility writes the results into a file named /tmp/VerticaDiagnostics.date.zip where date is replaced with a numeric date representation so that multiple calls to diagnostics result in different files being created.
