This utility is intended for use on a management node host, and requires the path to the management host configuration file (usually named
config\&.ini)\&. Optionally, you can supply the name of a user that is able to access the cluster\*(Aqs data nodes using SSH, to copy the data node log files\&.
\fBndb_error_reporter\fR
then includes all of these files in archive that is created in the same directory in which it is run\&. The archive is named
ndb_error_report_\fIYYYYMMDDhhmmss\fR\&.tar\&.bz2, where
\fIYYYYMMDDhhmmss\fR
is a datetime string\&.
