rpk debug bundle

rpk debug bundle collects environment data that can help debug and diagnose issues with a Redpanda cluster, a broker, or the machine it`s running on. It then bundles the collected data into a zip file.

The following are the data sources that are bundled in the compressed file:

Data SourceDescription
Kafka metadataBroker configs, topic configs, start/committed/end offsets, groups, group commits.
Data directory structureA file describing the data directory`s contents.
Redpanda configurationThe Redpanda configuration file `redpanda.yaml`. SASL credentials are stripped.
/proc/cpuinfoCPU information like make, core count, cache, frequency.
/proc/interruptsIRQ distribution across CPU cores.
Resource usage dataCPU usage percentage, free memory available for the Redpanda process.
Clock driftThe ntp clock delta (usingntppool as a reference) & round trip time.
Kernel logsThe kernel logs ring buffer (syslog).
Broker metricsThe local broker`s Prometheus metrics, fetched through its admin API.
DNSThe DNS info as reported by dig, using the hosts in/etc/resolv.conf.
Disk UsageThe disk usage for the data directory, as output by du.
Redpanda logsThe Redpanda logs written to journald. If --logs-since or--logs-until are passed, then only the logs within the resulting time frame will be included.
Socket infoThe active sockets data output by ss.
Running process infoAs reported by top.
Virtual memory statsAs reported by vmstat.
Network configAs reported by ip addr.
lspciList the PCI buses and the devices connected to them.
dmidecodeThe DMI table contents. Only included if this command is run as root.
