Enable diagnostic archive

The diagnostic archive or hapee-tech-support tool allows you to collect diagnostic data for your system running HAProxy Enterprise. The hapee-tech-support tool creates a .tar.gz file containing information about the state of the system that you can provide to the HAProxy Technologies Support team. The .tar.gz diagnostic archive file is named with the date and time the file was created. For example:

• tech-support-20240226-194158.tar.gz

The diagnostic archive contains the following:

• Information about the system, running processes, and installed packages
• Operating system information, including kernel parameters
• Information about hardware resources such as disk, CPU, and memory
• Networking and firewall information
• HAProxy Enterprise logs and statistics
• HAProxy Enterprise configuration files
