Kubectl plugin to gather data about your cluster

This is a kubectl plugin for gathering data about your cluster that may help to debug issues. Kubernetes is big and complicated, and when something breaks it is hard to tell which info is needed for debugging. Even if you known which resources or logs are needed, it is hard to get the data manually. When working with multiple related clusters gathering the right data from the right cluster is even harder. The kubectl gather tool makes it easy to gather data quickly from multiple clusters with a single command. It gathers all resources from all clusters. It also gather related data such as pods logs, on for specific cases, external logs stored on the nodes. The data is stored in a local directory, one file per resource, making it easy to navigate and inspect using standard tools. If you know what you want to gather, it is much faster and consume fraction of the storage to gather only specific namespaces from all clusters.
