Sending support bundles

Modified: 01 Oct 2025 13:27 UTC

Triton DataCenter includes a feature to create a bundle to help the Triton Support team troubleshoot problems with your installation. This bundle includes a number of logs and configuration files from your Triton installation. This bundle can then be uploaded for Triton Support to analyze it.

Creating a support bundle

To create a support bundle and upload it to Triton Support, follow these steps:

# cd /var/tmp
# sdc-sbcreate -u

This tool will create a Triton support bundle in /var/tmp/sdcsb.83346.

Uploading the Support Bundle using the filename

If for some reason the upload did not work after creating the support bundle, the folllowing command can be used to upload it:

sdc-sbupload /var/tmp/sdc-support.headnode.20140314T124856Z.tar.bz2

Creating a support bundle on a compute node and uploading to Triton Support from the head node

If you are creating a support bundle on a compute node you need to transfer it to the head node to be uploaded to Triton Support. Follow these steps:

# sdc-oneachnode -n 78-2b-cb-0a-75-23 sdc-sbcreate
=== Output from 44454c4c-3700-1039-8034-c2c04f445131 (78-2b-cb-0a-75-23):

==> packing data to /var/tmp/sdc-support.78-2b-cb-0a-75-23.20140314T125306Z.tar.bz2
==> cleaning up
==> done
The `sdc-sbcreate` command creates the file
`/var/tmp/sdc-support..$DATE.tar.bz2`, where `$DATE` is
the date that the file was created.
  

Copy the bundle file to the head node using sdc-oneachnode. The file name for the bundle is shown in the above output on the line

If your head node is not connected to the Internet, you can send the bundle found in the /var/tmp/sdc-suppport.headnode.$DATE.tar.bz2 files through any other convenient means such as emailing the support ticketing system, or by transferring it to another computer and ask for a signed Manta URL and curl command provided by support.
