Use the support-bundle Helm chart to collect diagnostic data from a ClickHouse Private cluster. The resulting archive can be shared with ClickHouse support to speed up incident resolution.

Prerequisites

The chart relies on Troubleshoot, a kubectl plugin for cluster diagnostics. Install it via Krew:
Or refer to the Troubleshoot documentation for other installation methods.

Generating and Running the Bundle

The chart does not install any resources into the cluster. Instead, it renders a SupportBundle manifest that is consumed by the kubectl support-bundle plugin. Given a ClickHouse cluster named default-xx-01, render the chart locally and run the bundle:
The plugin collects the data and writes a tar.gz archive to the current directory.

What is Collected

The bundle collects data from two sources: the ClickHouse Operator namespace and the cluster namespace (derived as ns-<cluster-name>). ClickHouse Operator (toggle with supportBundle.collectors.operator.enabled):
  • Container logs from the operator deployment
  • Kubernetes resources in the operator namespace (Pods, Services, ConfigMaps, Events, etc.)
  • Helm release values for charts installed in the operator namespace
ClickHouse Cluster (toggle with supportBundle.collectors.clickhouseCluster.enabled):
  • ClickHouse Server container logs
  • ClickHouse Keeper container logs
  • Kubernetes resources in the cluster namespace
  • Helm release values for charts installed in the cluster namespace
  • Output of SELECT version() from the first ClickHouse Server pod
  • Output of the Keeper mntr command from the first Keeper pod
Sensitive data — passwords, S3 credentials, cluster secrets, and password hashes — is automatically redacted.

Customizing Collection

The defaults are tuned for most scenarios but can be adjusted. For example, to collect only the last 24 hours of logs and skip operator data:
Render with the custom values file:
If the ClickHouse Operator was installed in a non-default namespace, set supportBundle.collectors.operator.namespace accordingly.
