| ## 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.
