Collection related

• artcl_collect_list – A list of files and directories to gather from the target. Directories are collected recursively and need to end with a “/” to get collected. Should be specified as a YaML list, e.g.:

artcl_collect_list:
    - /etc/nova/
    - /home/stack/*.log
    - /var/log/

• artcl_collect_list_append – A list of files and directories to be appended in the default list. This is useful for users that want to keep the original list and just add more relevant paths.

• artcl_exclude_list – A list of files and directories to exclude from collecting. This list is passed to rsync as an exclude filter and it takes precedence over the collection list. For details see the “FILTER RULES” topic in the rsync man page.

• artcl_collect_dir – A local directory where the logs should be gathered, without a trailing slash.

• artcl_gzip_only: false/true – When true, gathered files are gzipped one by one in artcl_collect_dir, when false, a tar.gz file will contain all the logs.
