ceph-post-file will upload files or directories to ceph.com for later analysis by Ceph developers.

       Each  invocation uploads files or directories to a separate directory with a unique tag.  That tag can be
       passed to a developer or  referenced  in  a  bug  report  (http://tracker.ceph.com/).   Once  the  upload
       completes,  the  directory  is marked non-readable and non-writeable to prevent access or modification by
       other users.

       To upload a single log:

          ceph-post-file /var/log/ceph/ceph-mon.`hostname`.log

       To upload several directories:

          ceph-post-file -d 'mon data directories' /var/log/ceph/mon/*

-d*description*,--description*description*
              Add a short description for the upload.  This is a good opportunity to  reference  a  bug  number.
              There is no default value.

       -u*user*
              Set the user metadata for the upload.  This defaults to whoami`@`hostname-f.

       Basic measures are taken to make posted data be visible  only  to  developers  with  access  to  ceph.com
       infrastructure.  However,  users  should  think  twice and/or take appropriate precautions before posting
       potentially sensitive data (for example, logs or data directories that contain Ceph secrets).
