It will output in the directory it's run from, and collects the following information:

  1. Bindplane logs
  2. Bindplane configuration
  3. With --agent {collector_id} flag, the collector configuration, and collector information
  4. System information

It will package the information into a tar.gz file named bindplane_support_bundle_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.tar.gz, where YYYY is the year, MM month, DD, day, HH hour, MM minute, SS second. It must be run with sudo or as root.
