hagbard triaged this task as High priority.
hagbard created this object in space S1 VyOS Public.
hagbard created this object with edit policy "Custom Policy".

idea:

show tech-support network - all network related stuff
show tech-support system - os related (cpu, memory, file system space, pkgs etc.)

@hagbardI like the idea to have it modular,
we also need to add profiling option (collecting system metrics over some period of time)
and maybe some more stuff (specific to functionality like ipsec, bgp, firewall, etc)

I'm not happy with the current one. Ideally, I'd like to rewrite it in Python using better diagnostic collection tools. I don't see it happening in 1.3.0, however.

show tech-support report was rewritten in PR 1961 and the last vestiges of the original was removed earlier in PR 2260. See T5137.
