I like the idea that this script can be provided as a convenience to collect 
various logs. One problem however is that the script assumes root access on the 
management server and executes a bunch of commands (ip routes, hostnames, top, 
df, dmesg) etc that someone might not be okay with. May be it should be made 
interactive and warn the user of the actions it will/has performed. When as a 
commercial support provider you have permission to access and troubleshoot a 
system it would be okay to run this. But IMO it could be provided by that 
company which is looking to provide support to the operator of the said cloud 
to simplify their process of support. So I'm slightly wary of accepting 
something like this unless someone else convinces me that this would absolutely 
be beneficial. Also admins operating large clouds might be using a syslog 
server to already do some (or more) of these actions for them. If the logs are 
moved away from where one expects them to be then this script fails.
