Generating a debug log bundle

Should you encounter any difficulties while executing a project scan through the FOSSA CLI, we kindly request that you forward the debug bundle to our support team ([email protected]) and/or your designated Customer Success team for prompt and thorough assistance. This step is crucial for expeditiously resolving any scan-related issues.

The debug bundle is fossa.debug.json.gz which is the output of running fossa analyze with the --debug flag, so in practice this is fossa analyze --debug. The following terminal example below shows that fossa.debug.json.gz is the output to the location in which the CLI is ran. A fossa.telemetry.json is also an output, and that may be sent along with the debug bundle as well.

➜  fossa-python-test git:(main) ✗ fossa analyze --debug
[DEBUG] Loading configuration file from "/Users/fossaiscool/fossa-python-test/"
[DEBUG] A task succeeded with warnings
