This document (000020064) is provided subject to the disclaimer at the end of this document.

Environment

Rancher 2.x

Windows worker nodes

Situation

Collecting logs from a Rancher 2.x cluster with Windows worker nodes using the Rancher v2.x Windows worker node log collection script.

N.B. The script needs to be downloaded and run directly on a Windows worker node using a Powershell session with Administrator Privileges.

Resolution

To run the script, open a new Powershell window with Administrator Privileges and run the following command:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force
iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rancherlabs/support-tools/master/collection/rancher/v2.x/windows-log-collector/win-log-collect.ps1 -OutFile win-log-collect.ps1
& .\win-log-collect.ps1

Upon successful completion, the log bundle will be written to the root of the C:\ drive in a file named rancher_<hostname>_<datetime>.tar.gz.
