The Log Collection Tool is the kubectl plugin "kubectl-fep". Add Log Collection Tool as subcommands to kubectl to extend the command line syntax.

Log Collection Tool are stored in the operator's Pod. Install it on the Kubernetes client machine using the command below. <destination-path> specifies the storage location of the plugin.

1.Check the OperatorPod name with the command below.
$ kubectl get pods --selector=name=fep-ansible-operator -o name
pod/fep-ansible-operator-5985969857-ldj2x

2. Copy the plugin.
# Linux Client
$ kubectl cp fep-ansible-operator-5985969857-ldj2x:/opt/fepopr-kubectl-plugin/kubectl-fep <destination-path>/kubectl-fep

# Windows Client
$ kubectl cp fep-ansible-operator-5985969857-ldj2x:/opt/fepopr-kubectl-plugin/kubectl-fep.ps1 <destination-path>/kubectl-fep.ps1

The Log Collection Tool kubectl plugin is installed on client machines along with the kubectl/oc command for remote access to the target Kubernetes/Openshift environment. Specify the directory where both the kubectl plugin and the kubectl/oc command are stored in the PATH environment variable. Also, set appropriate execution permissions for the plugin.

On a client machine, the kubectl/oc command supports different methods of authentication/login to the Kubernetes Cluster (e.g., username + password, TLS client certificates, OAuth token) that allow different users to execute the command, provided they have suitable privileges to the Kubernetes Cluster.

The diagnostic logs collected by the Log Collection Tool are stored locally on the filesystem on the client.
