Informational options

scrutinize supports two informational options that cannot be combined with any other options:

--version

Obtains the version number of the Vertica server and the scrutinize version number, and then exits. For example:

$ scrutinize --version
Scrutinize Version 12.0.2-20221107
  

--help -h

Lists all scrutinize options to the console, and then exits:

$ scrutinize -h
Usage: scrutinize [options]
  
Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -X LIST, --exclude-tasks=LIST
                        Skip tasks of a particular type. Provide a comma-
                        separated lists of types to skip. Types are case-
                        sensitive. Possible types are: Command, File,
                        VerticaLog, DC, SystemTable, CatalogObject, Query,
                        UdxLog, KafkaLog, MemoryReportLog, all.
  -v, --vsql-off        Does -X Query,SystemTable and skips vsql checks.

                        must be a comma-separated list. Ex. host1,host2,host3
                        or 'host1, host2, host3'

                        Reason for gathering diagnostics
  -o OUTPUT_DIR, --output_dir=OUTPUT_DIR
