MGR “not the final name” is a simple TUI interface to navigate and view OpenShift 4 must-gather files.
How to run it:
- Download and run the executable file “mgr”:
# ./mgr <MG path>
- Or, you can clone the project and build your own executable files as follows [Recommended]:
# git clone https://github.com/AmrGanz/MGR.git # cd MGR # go build . -o mgr # ./mgr <MG path>
- The main interface is devided into multiple areas as shown in the following screenshot:

- You will always start with area “1” or List number 1.
- Most of the flow will start from List 1 then you have new options to choose from in List 2 and so on till you finally get an output in the Text Output area.
- Sometimes you will ge the output in the Text Area from selecting options in List 2, so you don’t have to always get it from the last List.
CopyMode
button will bring focus to the contents in the Text Output area by hiding other areas.- While in the
CopyMode
, you can use your mouse to highlight and Select/Copy lines. - To go back to the main interfacr, press the
Esc
