ECE diagnostics is a command line tool that you can run on the host where the ECE instance is installed. It collects logs and metrics, and stores everything into an archive file that can be provided to Elastic support for troubleshooting and investigation purposes.

The ECE diagnostics tool is currently available for ECE version 3.2 onwards.

The ECE diagnostics tool is bundled in ECE images, and you can use it by following these instructions:
