Issue/Introduction

How to collect logs for OSS RabbitMQ installed on Windows OS.

Resolution

When working on an OSS RabbitMQ for Windows issue with VMware Support, collect the following from each RabbitMQ server in the cluster:

Procedure:

1. Download the “rabbitmq-collect-env.ps1” script from GitHub to the Windows environment. This script collects RabbitMQ and selected OS logs, system-level metrics, and other environment information that can provide insight into the overall state of the node.
2. After enabling relevant permissions, execute this script on all the RabbitMQ nodes to capture logs.
3. If you cannot download the “rabbitmq-collect-env.ps1” script, use the manual commands below on all the RabbitMQ nodes to capture logs.
