Document where debug bundles are uploaded by riccardomanfrin · Pull Request #971 · netbirdio/docs

riccardomanfrin · 2026-09-11T16:36:21Z

Documents the account setting and the management-server knob that decide where peers send debug bundles, from netbirdio/netbird#7514.

Client Settings (manage/settings/clients): new Debug Bundle Upload section — the setting, the DebugUpload.URL fallback in management.json, the https requirement, the full precedence order, and the fact that an unset destination means the upload service NetBird runs, self-hosted included.
Remote Jobs (manage/peers/remote-jobs): note where a remotely collected bundle goes.

Touches remote-jobs.mdx away from the lines #914 edits, but that PR is still open — worth merging in order.

Pairs with netbirdio/netbird#7514 and netbirdio/dashboard#800; merge alongside them.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Documentation
- Clarified the precedence used to determine where debug bundles are uploaded, including peer policy, remote job settings, account settings, management server defaults, and NetBird’s upload service.
- Documented how empty account-level settings affect destination selection and when the default upload service is used.
- Updated the Clients settings description to mention debug bundle upload destinations and related client behavior.

A debug bundle carries the peer's logs, routes, DNS and firewall state, and the client now takes the upload destination from the management server rather than compiling in the service NetBird runs. Document the new Clients setting, the `DebugUpload.URL` fallback in management.json, and what an unset destination means for cloud and self-hosted deployments. Pairs with the netbird change that publishes the destination to peers.

"MDM > --upload-bundle-url > account setting > management.json > NetBird" reads both ways: it can mean "MDM is consulted first" or "MDM is overridden by the next one". Replace it with a numbered list and say explicitly that the client uses the first entry that is set.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The documentation now describes debug bundle upload settings, destination precedence, fallback behavior, and local and remote debug bundle behavior.

Changes

Debug bundle documentation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document upload settings `src/pages/manage/settings/clients.mdx`	Updates the page description and documents the upload URL, `https` requirement, empty-value behavior, destination precedence, and local command behavior.
Document remote job destination `src/pages/manage/peers/remote-jobs.mdx`	Documents the destination precedence for remote Debug Bundle jobs.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1af49

Users configuring an account or MDM upload destination can still send CLI-generated debug bundles to NetBird’s default service. Correct the CLI guidance before merging.

Both pages jumped from "account setting unset" to "NetBird's service", skipping the MDM policy, the per-bundle destination and management.json that sit between them. Point at the precedence list instead, and say NetBird's service is reached only when nothing above it is set. The Remote Jobs page also now names the job's own Upload URL, which a reader there is most likely to reach for. Reported by CodeRabbit on #971.

28-54: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the CLI upload behavior in the Clients page

netbird debug bundle -U does not use account or MDM upload resolution. client/cmd/debug.go assigns the nonempty default https://upload.debug.netbird.io/upload-url to DebugBundleRequest.UploadURL. client/server/debug.go uploads directly when UploadURL is nonempty.

Remove this CLI command from the account setting's scope. State that the CLI uses the NetBird default unless the user passes --upload-bundle-url. This correction removes the misleading documentation, but it does not make the CLI honor account or MDM settings.
