network-tools is a collection of tools for debugging OpenShift cluster network issues.
It contains both debugging scripts (described in the next section) and useful tools to get
information from the cluster. This repo is supposed to be used by network engineers and
support to debug and diagnose issues. Customers can also be advised to use commands from this
image to help get required information.
To use network-tools locally, you can just clone this repo and run
./debug-scripts/network-tools -h - that will list all available commands.
You can also create a symlink for your convenience to just use network-tools
ln -s <repo-path>/debug-scripts/network-tools /usr/bin/network-tools
network-tools -h
You can use almost all the same scripts on the cluster via network-tools image, to run one command you can use
oc adm must-gather --image-stream openshift/network-tools:latest -- network-tools -h
WARNING! must-gather doesn't allow interactive input, don't use interactive options with must-gather.
WARNING! For clusters older than 4.13, use --image quay.io/openshift/origin-network-tools:latest instead of --image-streams
For more examples and options check user docs
Debugging scripts are kept in debug-scripts. The content of that folder is placed in /opt/bin in the image.
Symlink is created for /opt/bin/network-tools to /usr/bin/network-tools that allows to just call network-tools.
debug-scripts/local-scripts folder contains scripts that shouldn't be run on the cluster via oc adm must-gather, they
are not copied to the image. But these scripts are available for local use (network-tools -h will list currently available commands).
debug-scripts/network-tools is a single entry point for all commands that were tested and properly documented. Not all scripts from
debug-scripts folder may be included to the network-tools. If you need to run such a script, call it directly via
debug-scripts/<script path> locally or /opt/bin/<script path> in the image.
