Enable netconsole for host
This enables the netconsole on a host to send kernel/dmesg logs to a remote host. This can be very useful if a node is experiencing a kernel oops or another form of unexpected disconnect where you can not retrieve information via standard logging methods.
The netconsole_remote_ip and
netconsole_remote_port variables must be set. This host can
capture the logs with a command like:
$ nc -v -u -l -p 6666 | tee console-output.logor:
$ socat udp-recv:6666 - | tee console-output.logOne further trick is to send interesting data to
/dev/kmsg, this should make it across the netconsole even
if the main interface has been disabled, etc. e.g.:
$ ip addr | sudo tee /dev/kmsgRole Variables
The IP address of the remote host to send to.
The port listening on the remote host.
