## Usage 

ndb_error_reporter path/to/config-file  [ username ] [ options ] 

This utility is intended for use on a management node host, and requires the path to the management host configuration file (usually named config.ini ). Optionally, you can supply the name of a user that is able to access the cluster’s data nodes using SSH, to copy the data node log files. ndb_error_reporter then includes all of these files in archive that is created in the same directory in which it is run. The archive is named ndb_error_report_ YYYYMMDDhhmmss .tar.bz2 , where YYYYMMDDhhmmss  is a datetime string.
