Learn how to generate, download, and delete debug bundles in Redpanda Console for comprehensive cluster diagnostics.

When your cluster is unhealthy, Redpanda Console displays debugging data on the **Overview** page. If you are logged in as an admin user, you also get a link to generate a debug bundle.

## [](#prerequisites)Prerequisites

-   Redpanda Console must be [connected to a Redpanda cluster](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/current/console/config/connect-to-redpanda/) and [configured to connect to the Redpanda Admin API](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/current/console/config/connect-to-redpanda/#admin).


## [](#generate-a-debug-bundle)Generate a debug bundle

You can generate a debug bundle for all brokers in the cluster and download it onto your local computer for inspection.

> 📝 **NOTE**
>
> Only one debug bundle can exist at a time. If you generate a new debug bundle, any existing bundle from a previous run will be automatically deleted.

1.  Click **Debug bundle**.

2.  Click **Generate default**.

3.  Wait until the process is complete.

4.  Click **debug-bundle.zip** to download the bundle on your local computer.

5.  Unzip the file to inspect the contents.


For guidance on reading the debug bundle, see [Inspect a Debug Bundle](https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/current/troubleshoot/debug-bundle/inspect/).

## [](#delete-a-debug-bundle)Delete a debug bundle

To manually delete a debug bundle:

1.  Click **Debug bundle**.

2.  Click the trash icon next to **debug-bundle.zip** to delete the bundle.
