Data Collection Requirements for PAYG Repository Issues

Steps in Collecting Data

  1. Run the following command on the affected server, replacing with your case number:

    supportconfig -r <casenum>

    This will take some minutes and when complete will show “Log file tar ball” location.

  2. sc-repocheck [1] can automatically fix, report, and collect debug data. Download sc-repocheck to the instance: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rfparedes/susecloud-repocheck/main/sc-repocheck.py

  3. Run:

    python3 sc-repocheck.py

    This will take some minutes and when complete will show “Debug data location” where the tarball is located.

    Check if your issue is fixed or if what is being reported needs to be addressed by you.
