When you submit a support case to Red Hat Support, it is helpful to provide debugging information for Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS and OpenShift Virtualization by using the following tools:

Prometheus

Prometheus is a time-series database and a rule evaluation engine for metrics. Prometheus sends alerts to Alertmanager for processing.

Alertmanager

The Alertmanager service handles alerts received from Prometheus. The Alertmanager is also responsible for sending the alerts to external notification systems.

Collecting data about your environment

Collecting data about your environment minimizes the time required to analyze and determine the root cause.

Prerequisites

Collecting data about virtual machines

Collecting data about malfunctioning virtual machines (VMs) minimizes the time required to analyze and determine the root cause.

Prerequisites
Procedure
  1. Collect screenshots of VMs that have crashed before you restart them.

  2. Collect memory dumps from VMs before remediation attempts.

  3. Record factors that the malfunctioning VMs have in common. For example, the VMs have the same host or network.
