system-tools

Rancher 2.0 operations tool kit.

Commands

Remove

Usage:

   system-tools remove [command options] [arguments...]

Options:

• --kubeconfig value, -c value: kubeconfig absolute path [$KUBECONFIG]
• --namespace cattle-system, -n cattle-system: rancher 2.x deployment namespace. default is cattle-system (default: "cattle-system")
• --force: Skip the the interactive removal confirmation and remove the Rancher deployment right away.

The system-tools remove command is used to delete a Rancher 2.x management plane deployment. It operates by applying the following steps:

• Remove Rancher Deployment.
• Remove Rancher-Labeled ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings.
• Remove Labels, Annotations and Finalizers from all resources on the management plane cluster.
• Remove Machines, Clusters, Projects and Users CRDs and corresponding namespaces.
• Remove all resources created under the management.cattle.io API group.
• Reamove all CRDs created by Rancher 2.x.
• Remove the Rancher deployment Namespace, default is cattle-system.

Logs

Usage:

   system-tools logs [command options] [arguments...]

Options:

• --kubeconfig value, -c value: managed cluster kubeconfig [$KUBECONFIG]
• --output value, -o value: cluster logs tarball (default: "cluster-logs.tar")
• --node value, -n value: fetch logs for a single node

The system-tools logs command is used to pull Kubernetes components' Docker container logs deployed by RKE on cluster nodes.

The command works by deploying a DaemonSet on the managed cluster, that uses the Rancher node-agent image to mount RKE logs directory and tar the logs on each node and stream them the host running system-tools. Once the the logs are pulled, the DaemonSet is removed automatically.

It's also possible to use the --node option to pull logs from a specific node.

Stats

Usage:

   system-tools stats [command options] [arguments...]

Options:

• --kubeconfig value, -c value: managed cluster kubeconfig [$KUBECONFIG]
• --node value, -n value: show stats for a single node
• --stats-command value, -s value: alternative command to run on the servers (default: "/usr/bin/sar -u -r -F 1 1")

The system-tools stats command is used to pull real-time stats from Rancher-Managed Kubernetes cluster nodes. The default is to pull CPU, memory and disk usage stats.

The command works by deploying a DaemonSet on the managed cluster, that uses the Rancher node-agent to run pods used to execute the stats command on each node. Stats are displayed live every 5 seconds. The tool keeps running until the user interrupts its execution using ctrl+c which will trigger a cleanup command and remove the stats DaemonSet.

It's also possible to monitor a single node with the --node option or run another stats command using the --stats-command option.
