vCloud Director log collection

Working with vCloud Director and VMware GSS support often requires providing logs for them to review. In this post, I will list the command to generate the logs from your vCloud Director server.

For multiple cells and packages, use this command and syntax to collect all the log bundles.

Running a Multi-Cell Log Collection will not collect the Java Thread Dump, if required, run a Single Log Collection from the required Cells.

From you vCloud Director server (linux OS) run the below command:

/opt/vmware/vcloud-director/bin/vmware-vcd-support --all -m

When you run the vmware-vcd-support script, it creates a file in the folder where the script was executed from. For example:

vmware-vcd-support-2019-07-11.25214.tgz
