Copy File Collector

A commonly used, general purpose collector is the os.read-file collector. This copies the contents of a file from the filesystem, and includes the copy in the support bundle.

This collector is fully documented in the reference docs.

Example

To illustrate how to use this collector, consider a support bundle that we’d like to collect some application specific log files from /var/log/application.log.

collect:
  v1:
    - os.read-file:
        output_dir: /logs/application.log
        filepath: /var/log/application.log
        include_empty: true

The above collector definition will include the log file in the support bundle at /logs/application.log, even if empty.
