# Collect qkviews from a Group

> Generate and download qkview files from every device in a device group.

qkview files contain diagnostic information needed by F5 support. This recipe generates them on each device and downloads them in one workflow.

## Generate and Pull

```shell theme={null}
# 1. Generate the qkview on each device in the group
crcli devicegroups ssh prod-ha -c "tmsh run util qkview"

# 2. Pull the generated files from every device
crcli devicegroups pull prod-ha /var/tmp/*.qkview -o ./qkviews/
```

Files are saved as `<hostname>_<filename>` — e.g. `bigip-prod-01_bigip.qkview` — so they never overwrite each other.

## Verify the Files

```shell theme={null}
ls -lh ./qkviews/
```

## Single Device

```shell theme={null}
crcli devices ssh <device> -c "tmsh run util qkview"
crcli devices pull <device> /var/tmp/bigip.qkview -o ./qkviews/
```

## With Claude (MCP)

```text theme={null}
Generate a qkview on each device in prod-ha, then pull them all to ./qkviews/
```

<Note>
  qkview generation can take several minutes on loaded devices. The SSH command will wait for it to complete before returning.
