Running the support bundle tool

The Automation Suite support bundle tool collects application-level logs of UiPath® services and other software components, such as Istio, ArgoCD, etc. The Automation Suite support bundle tool also contains historical records you can use to analyze patterns when troubleshooting a problem. Detailed logs are particularly helpful when the potential root cause of an issue is not evident just by looking at the state of the cluster.

The Automation Suite support bundle tool is also needed when asking for guidance or a fix from the UiPath® Support team as they need it for analysis purposes.

Note:

The Automation Suite support bundle tool does not collect or store any PII or confidential data of you, your user, or your automation. UiPath® applications not not leak or log any confidential information in their records. At the platform level, the log collector is designed to mask any such critical information.

Generating the support bundle

To generate the support bundle, run the following command:

./uipathctl health bundle input.json --versions version.json

This tool takes some time to gather and store all the logs in a temporary location on your local / management machine.

The following table lists the optional flags the support bundle tool support:

Flags	Description
--output-dir /foo/bar	Provide a directory path to store the support bundle.
--skip-diagnose	Boolean flag to skip the diagnostics report. By default, the bundle contains the diagnostics reports. Use this flag to exclude the diagnostics report from the support bundle.
--include-previous	The default value is true. If set to false, the support bundle skips the logs of the previous instance of the container in a pod.
--limit-bytes int	Limits the size of the logs by providing the integer value in bytes.
--since-time	Only return logs after a specific date. Defaults to all logs.
--namespace	When provided, retrieves the support bundle only from the specified namespace.
