+# OpenTelemetry Operator Must-Gather
+
+The OpenTelemetry Operator `must-gather` tool is designed to collect comprehensive information about OpenTelemetry components within an OpenShift cluster. This utility extends the functionality of [OpenShift must-gather](https://github.com/openshift/must-gather) by specifically targeting and retrieving data related to the OpenTelemetry Operator, helping in diagnostics and troubleshooting.
+
+Note that you can use this utility too to gather information about the objects deployed by the OpenTelemetry Operator if you don't use OpenShift.
+
+## What is a Must-Gather?
+
+The `must-gather` tool is a utility that collects logs, cluster information, and resource configurations related to a specific operator or application in an OpenShift cluster. It helps cluster administrators and developers diagnose issues by providing a snapshot of the cluster's state related to the targeted component. More information [in the official documentation](https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.16/support/gathering-cluster-data.html).
+
+## Usage
+
+First, you will need to build and push the image:
+```sh
+make container-must-gather container-must-gather-push
+```
+
+To run the must-gather tool for the OpenTelemetry Operator, use one of the following commands, depending on how you want to source the image and the namespace where the operator is deployed.
+
+### Using the image from the Operator deployment
+
+If you want to use the image in a running cluster, you need to run the following command:
+
+```sh
+oc adm must-gather --image=<must-gather-image> -- /usr/bin/must-gather --operator-namespace opentelemetry-operator-system
+```
+
+### Using it as a CLI
+
+You only need to build and run:
+```sh
+make must-gather
+./bin/must-gather --help
+```
+
+This is the recommended way to do it if you are not using OpenShift.
