## Objective
|
|
|
|
To streamline troubleshooting of remote Internet-in-a-Box (IIAB) installations, we bundle up common machine/software diagnostics, all together in 1 human-readable small file, that can be easily circulated online AND offline.
|
|
|
|
The ``pastebinit`` command can then be used to auto-upload this file, creating a short URL that makes it easier to pass around.
|
|
|
|
But first off, the file is compiled by harvesting 1 + 6 kinds of things:
|
|
|
|
0. Filename Header + Git Hashes + Raspberry Pi Model + OS
|
|
|
|
1. Files specially requested (if you run ``sudo iiab-diagnostics PATH/FILE1 PATH/FILE2``)
|
|
|
|
2. Regular Files
|
|
|
|
3. Content of Directories (1-level deep)
|
|
|
|
4. Output of Commands
|
|
|
|
5. Firewall Rules
|
|
|
|
6. Log Files (last 100 lines of each)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. Run it as follows:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
iiab-diagnostics
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Better yet, for [more complete results](https://github.com/iiab/iiab/pull/2000#issue-327506999), run it as root:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo iiab-diagnostics
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To bundle in yet more files, run:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo iiab-diagnostics PATH/FILE1 PATH/FILE2 ...
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
( All diagnostics will be bundled up into a single human-readable file, placed in: /etc/iiab/diag/ )
|
|
|
|
2. Make sure you're online, as you will be prompted to auto-publish your newly-compiled diagnostics file to a web pastebin.
|
|
|
|
Or, you can later/manually upload it using the ``pastebinit`` command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
pastebinit < /etc/iiab/diag/NEW-FILE-NAME
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Either way, this will generate an actual web link (URL).
|
|
|
|
3. Post this link (URL) to a "New issue" at https://github.com/iiab/iiab/issues
|
|
|
|
Include a description of the symptoms, and how to reproduce the problem.
|
|
|
|
4. If you don't understand Step 3, email everything to bugs@iiab.io instead.
