Tip

The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.

Parameters

url (str) – Support Bundle Download URL.
wcp_support_bundle_token (SupportBundle.Token) – Information about the token required in the HTTP GET request to generate the support bundle.

class Token(token=None, expiry=None)¶

Bases: vmware.vapi.bindings.struct.VapiStruct

The SupportBundle.Token class contains information about the token required in the HTTP GET request to generate the support bundle.

Tip

The arguments are used to initialize data attributes with the same names.

Parameters

token (str) – A one-time, short-lived token required in the HTTP header of the request to the url. This token needs to be passed in as a header with the name “wcp-support-bundle-token”.
expiry (str) – Expiry time of the token

create(cluster)¶

Returns the location SupportBundle.Location information for downloading the Namespaces-related support bundle for the specified cluster.

Retrieving a support bundle involves two steps:

Step 1: Invoke method to provision a token and a URI.
Step 2: Make an HTTP GET request using URI and one time used token returned in step 1 to generate the support bundle and return it.

There can only be one valid token per cluster at any given time. If this method is invoked again for the same cluster identifier while a token still valid, the API will return the same SupportBundle.Location response.

The HTTP GET request will:

return 401 (Not Authorized) if the download URL is recognized, but the token is invalid.
otherwise return 200 (OK), mark the token used (invalidating it for any future use), open a application/tar download stream for the client, and start the bundle process. As part of its work, the API will orchestrate support bundling on the worker nodes of a cluster. If a failure occurs during the collection of support bundle from worker node, the API will not abort the request, but will log a warning and move on to processing other worker nodes’ bundles. The API will only abort its operation if the content of the stream has been corrupted. When the API has to abort its operation (and the response stream), it will not provide any indication of failures to the client. The client will need to verify validity of the resultant file based on the format specified in the response’s Content-Disposition header.

Parameters: cluster (str) – Identifier of cluster for which the Namespaces-related support bundle should be generated. The parameter must be an identifier for the resource type: ClusterComputeResource.
Return type: SupportBundle.Location
Returns: the download location of the support bundle for the cluster.
Raise: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.NotFound if the specified cluster is not registered on this vCenter server.
Raise: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Error if the system reports an error while responding to the request.
Raise: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Unauthenticated if the user can not be authenticated.
Raise: com.vmware.vapi.std.errors_client.Unauthorized if the user does not have Global.Diagnostics privilege.
