The must gather operator helps collecting must gather information on a cluster and uploading it to a case. To use the operator a cluster administrator can create the following must gather CR:
apiVersion: redhatcop.redhat.io/v1alpha1
kind: MustGather
metadata:
name: example-mustgather
spec:
caseID: '02527285'
caseManagementAccountSecretRef:
name: case-management-creds
this request will collect the standard must gather info and upload it to case #02527285
using the credentials found in the caseManagementCreds
secret.
A more complex example:
apiVersion: redhatcop.redhat.io/v1alpha1
kind: MustGather
metadata:
name: full-mustgather
spec:
caseID: '02527285'
caseManagementAccountSecretRef:
name: case-management-creds
serviceAccountRef:
name: must-gather-admin
mustGatherImages:
- quay.io/kubevirt/must-gather:latest
- quay.io/ocs-dev/ocs-must-gather
in this example we are using a specific service account (which must have cluster admin permissions as per must-gather requirements) and we are specifying a couple of additional must gather images to be run for the kubevirt
and ocs
subsystem. If not specified serviceAccountRef.Name will default to default
. Also the standard must gather image: quay.io/openshift/origin-must-gather:latest
is always added by default.
The MustGather operator supports using a proxy. The proxy setting can be specified in the MustGather object. If not specified, the cluster default proxy setting will be used. Here is an example:
apiVersion: redhatcop.redhat.io/v1alpha1
kind: MustGather
metadata:
name: example-mustgather
spec:
caseID: '02527285'
caseManagementAccountSecretRef:
name: case-management-creds
proxyConfig:
httpProxy: http://myproxy
httpsProxy: https://my_http_proxy
noProxy: master-api
MustGather instances are cleaned up by the Must Gather operator about 6 hours after completion, regardless of whether they were successful. This is a way to prevent the accumulation of unwanted MustGather resources and their corresponding job resources.
This is a cluster-level operator that you can deploy in any namespace, must-gather-operator
is recommended.
It is recommended to deploy this operator via OperatorHub
, but you can also deploy it using Helm
.

Note: This operator supports being installed disconnected environments
If you want to utilize the Operator Lifecycle Manager (OLM) to install this operator, you can do so in two ways: from the UI or the CLI.
oc new-project must-gather-operator
must gather
. This will then return an item for our operator and you can select it to get started. Once you've arrived here, you'll be presented with an option to install, which will begin the process.Automatic
or Manual
).Subscribe
and the installation will begin. After a few moments you can go ahead and check your namespace and you should see the operator running.If you'd like to launch this operator from the command line, you can use the manifests contained in this repository by running the following:
oc new-project must-gather-operator
oc apply -f config/operatorhub -n must-gather-operator
This will create the appropriate OperatorGroup and Subscription and will trigger OLM to launch the operator in the specified namespace.
Here are the instructions to install the latest release with Helm.
oc new-project must-gather-operator
helm repo add must-gather-operator https://redhat-cop.github.io/must-gather-operator
helm repo update
helm install must-gather-operator must-gather-operator/must-gather-operator
This can later be updated with the following commands:
helm repo update
helm upgrade must-gather-operator must-gather-operator/must-gather-operator
Prometheus compatible metrics are exposed by the Operator and can be integrated into OpenShift's default cluster monitoring. To enable OpenShift cluster monitoring, label the namespace the operator is deployed in with the label openshift.io/cluster-monitoring="true"
.
oc label namespace <namespace> openshift.io/cluster-monitoring="true"
export operatorNamespace=must-gather-operator-local # or must-gather-operator
oc label namespace ${operatorNamespace} openshift.io/cluster-monitoring="true"
oc rsh -n openshift-monitoring -c prometheus prometheus-k8s-0 /bin/bash
export operatorNamespace=must-gather-operator-local # or must-gather-operator
curl -v -s -k -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cat /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token)" https://must-gather-operator-controller-manager-metrics.${operatorNamespace}.svc.cluster.local:8443/metrics

export imageTag="$(git -c 'versionsort.suffix=-' ls-remote --exit-code --refs --sort='version:refname' --tags https://github.com/redhat-cop/must-gather-operator.git '*.*.*' | tail --lines=1 | cut --delimiter='/' --fields=3)"
Deploy chart...
make helmchart IMG=${imageRepository} VERSION=${imageTag}
helm upgrade -i must-gather-operator-local charts/must-gather-operator -n must-gather-operator-local --create-namespace
