The content must be differentiated into an assembly, a procedure, and a concept. Cramming everything into a single file is not the correct way as per our guidelines. I assume that it is the reason why the PR is not building a preview since the last couple of hours.

= Gathering diagnostic information for support

When you open a support case, you must provide debugging information about your cluster to the Red Hat Support team. You can use the `must-gather` tool to collect diagnostic information for project-level resources, cluster-level resources, and {pipelines-title} components.

[NOTE]
====
For prompt support, provide diagnostic information for both OpenShift Container Platform and {pipelines-title}.

This topic should be added in a separate concept.

The `oc adm must-gather` CLI command collects the information from your cluster that is most likely needed for debugging issues, including:

* Resource definitions
* Service logs

By default, the `oc adm must-gather` command uses the default plugin image and writes into `./must-gather.local`.

Alternatively, you can collect specific information by running the command with the appropriate arguments as described in the following sections:

* To collect data related to one or more specific features, use the `--image` argument with an image, as listed in a following section.
* To collect the audit logs, use the `-- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs` argument, as described in a following section.

.Example command for default data collection
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc adm must-gather --image=quay.io/openshift-pipeline/must-gather
----

.Example command for collecting audit logs
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc adm must-gather -- /usr/bin/gather_audit_logs
----

[NOTE]
====
Audit logs are not collected as part of the default set of information to reduce the size of the files.
====

When you run `oc adm must-gather`, a new pod with a random name is created in a new project on the cluster. The data is collected on that pod and saved in a new directory that starts with `must-gather.local`. This directory is created in the current working directory.

.Example pod layout
[source,terminal]
----
NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
...
openshift-must-gather-5drcj must-gather-bklx4 2/2 Running 0 72s
openshift-must-gather-5drcj must-gather-s8sdh 2/2 Running 0 72s
...
----

Optionally, you can run the `oc adm must-gather` command in a specific namespace by using the `--run-namespace` option.

This topic should be ideally added in a separate procedure.

Use the `oc adm must-gather` CLI command to collect the following details about the cluster that is associated with {pipelines-title}:

* The subscription and namespace of the {pipelines-title} Operator.
* The namespaces where Tekton objects are available and the objects in those namespaces, such as `Pipeline`, `PipelineRun`, `Task`, `TaskRun`, `TektonConfig`, and configmaps.
* Logs of the pods in the `openshift-operators` and `openshift-pipelines` namespaces.

.Prerequisites
* You have logged in to the OpenShift Container Platform cluster as an administrator.
* You have installed the OpenShift Container Platform CLI (`oc`).
* You have installed the {pipelines-title} Operator.

.Procedure
. Navigate to the directory where you want to store the debugging information.
. Run the `oc adm must-gather` command with the {pipelines-shortname} `must-gather` image:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc adm must-gather --image=quay.io/openshift-pipeline/must-gather
----
+
The must-gather image for OpenShift Pipelines.
+
The `must-gather` tool creates a new directory that starts with `./must-gather.local` in the current directory.
. Create a compressed file from the directory that was just created. For example, on a computer that uses a Linux or macOS operating system, run the following command:
+
[source,terminal]
----
$ tar -cvaf must-gather.tar.gz must-gather.local.<random-hash>
----
+
Replace `must-gather.local.<random-hash>` with the actual directory name.
. Attach the compressed file to your support case on the Red Hat Customer Portal.

.Verification
* Verify that the `must-gather.tar.gz` file exists in your current working directory.
