NAME

       ceph-post-file - post files for ceph developers

SYNOPSIS

       ceph-post-file [-d description] [-u *user] file or dir ...

DESCRIPTION

       ceph-post-file will upload files or directories to ceph.com for later analysis by Ceph developers.

       Each  invocation uploads files or directories to a separate directory with a unique tag.  That tag can be
       passed to a developer or  referenced  in  a  bug  report  (http://tracker.ceph.com/).   Once  the  upload
       completes,  the  directory  is marked non-readable and non-writeable to prevent access or modification by
       other users.

WARNING

       Basic measures are taken to make posted data be visible  only  to  developers  with  access  to  ceph.com
       infrastructure.  However,  users  should  think  twice and/or take appropriate precautions before posting
       potentially sensitive data (for example, logs or data directories that contain Ceph secrets).

OPTIONS

       -d *description*, --description *description*
              Add a short description for the upload.  This is a good opportunity to  reference  a  bug  number.
              There is no default value.

       -u *user*
              Set the user metadata for the upload.  This defaults to whoami`@`hostname -f.

EXAMPLES

       To upload a single log:

          ceph-post-file /var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.`hostname`.log

       To upload several directories:

          ceph-post-file -d 'mon data directories' /var/log/ceph/mon/*

AVAILABILITY

       ceph-post-file  is  part  of  Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please
       refer to the Ceph documentation at http://ceph.com/docs for more information.
