vastai dump-logs

[Host] Bundle self-test diagnostics for support

Usage

vastai dump-logs <machine_id> [--instance-id INSTANCE_ID] [--output-dir DIR] [--include-local-host-artifacts]

Arguments

machine_id · string · required

Machine ID

Options

--instance-id · integer

Instance ID to pull Vast instance logs from

--output-dir · string

Directory for the diagnostic bundle (default: /tmp)

--include-local-host-artifacts · boolean

Include local OS/kaalia artifacts; only use when running on the actual Vast host

Description

Creates a redacted diagnostic tarball containing CLI-visible self-test evidence. If —instance-id is provided, the command also pulls container and daemon logs from the Vast instance logs API.

Local OS/kaalia artifacts are only collected with —include-local-host-artifacts. Use that option only when running this command on the actual host machine; from a laptop, it would collect the laptop’s logs instead.

Examples

vastai dump-logs 12345 --instance-id 67890
