To create a support bundle

  2. Select the Help icon

    Grafana downloads the support bundle to an archive (tar.gz) file.

You can open the file to view the contents of the support bundle. You can directly send the file to support, if needed. If the bundle contains private information, and you must send it via a channel that is not private, you may consider encrypting it. You can use a tool like age to encrypt the file before sending.
