4 ceph-post-file -- post files for ceph developers
5 ==================================================
7 .. program:: ceph-post-file
12 | **ceph-post-file** [-d *description] [-u *user*] *file or dir* ...
18 **ceph-post-file** will upload files or directories to ceph.com for
19 later analysis by Ceph developers.
21 Each invocation uploads files or directories to a separate directory
22 with a unique tag. That tag can be passed to a developer or
23 referenced in a bug report (http://tracker.ceph.com/). Once the
24 upload completes, the directory is marked non-readable and
25 non-writeable to prevent access or modification by other users.
30 Basic measures are taken to make posted data be visible only to
31 developers with access to ceph.com infrastructure. However, users
32 should think twice and/or take appropriate precautions before
33 posting potentially sensitive data (for example, logs or data
34 directories that contain Ceph secrets).
40 .. option:: -d *description*, --description *description*
42 Add a short description for the upload. This is a good opportunity
43 to reference a bug number. There is no default value.
47 Set the user metadata for the upload. This defaults to `whoami`@`hostname -f`.
52 To upload a single log::
54 ceph-post-file /var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.`hostname`.log
56 To upload several directories::
58 ceph-post-file -d 'mon data directories' /var/log/ceph/mon/*
64 **ceph-post-file** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please refer to
65 the Ceph documentation at https://docs.ceph.com for more information.
