Copy Files and Folders

The ability to copy folders was introduced in Troubleshoot v0.60.0.

The copy collector can be used to copy files or an entire folder from a host and include the contents in the collected data. This collector can be included multiple times to copy different files or folders from different host paths. This collector does not require kubernetes to be running.

Parameters​

In addition to the shared collector properties, the copy collector accepts the following parameters:

path (Required)​

The path in the host containing the file(s) and folder(s) to copy. This supports glob matching patterns.
