Redirecting scrutinize output

By default, scrutinize uses the temporary directory /opt/vertica/tmp execution to compile output while it executes.

By default, scrutinize uses the temporary directory /opt/vertica/tmp execution to compile output while it executes. On completing its collection, it saves the collection to a tar file to the current directory. You can redirect scrutinize output with two options:

--tmpdir=path
Directs temporary output to the specified path, where the following requirements apply to path:
  • The directory must have at least 1 GB of free space.

  • You must have write permission to it.

--output_dir=path
-o path
Saves scrutinize results to a tar file in path. For example:
$ scrutinize --output_dir="/my_diagnostics/"
