Warning:
CockroachDB v20.2 is no longer supported as of May 10, 2022. For more details, refer to the Release Support Policy.

The cockroach debug merge-logs command merges log files from multiple nodes into a single time-ordered stream of messages with an added per-message prefix to indicate the corresponding node. You can use it in conjunction with logs collected using the debug zip command to aid in debugging.

Warning:

The file produced by cockroach debug zip can contain highly sensitive, identifiable information, such as usernames, hashed passwords, and possibly your table's data. You can use the --redact flag to redact the sensitive data out of log files and crash reports before sharing them with Cockroach Labs.

Subcommands

While the cockroach debug command has a few subcommands, users are expected to use only the zip, encryption-active-key, merge-logs, and ballast subcommands.

The other debug subcommands are useful only to CockroachDB's developers and contributors.

Synopsis

$ cockroach debug merge-logs [log file directory] [flags]

Flags

Use the following flags to filter the debug merge-logs results for a specified regular expression or time range.

--from Start time for the time range filter.
--to End time for the time range filter.

Example

Generate a debug zip file:

icon/buttons/copy
$ cockroach debug zip ./cockroach-data/logs/debug.zip --insecure

Unzip the file:

icon/buttons/copy
$ unzip ./cockroach-data/logs/debug.zip

Merge the logs in the debug folder:

icon/buttons/copy
$ cockroach debug merge-logs debug/nodes/*/logs/*

Alternatively, filter the merged logs for a specified time range:

icon/buttons/copy
$ cockroach debug merge-logs debug/nodes/*/logs/* --from= "18:36:28.208553" --to= "18:36:29.232864"

You can also filter the merged logs for a regular expression:

icon/buttons/copy
cockroach debug merge-logs debug/nodes/*/logs/* --filter="RUNNING IN INSECURE MODE"

You can redact sensitive information from the merged logs:

icon/buttons/copy
cockroach debug merge-logs --redact debug/nodes/*/logs/*
