+observability-operator must-gather
+=================
+
+`observability-operator-must-gather` is a tool built on top of [OpenShift must-gather](https://github.com/openshift/must-gather)
+that expands its capabilities to gather Observability Operator information.
+
+**Note:** This image is only built for x86_64 architecture
+
+### Usage
+To gather only Observability Operator information:
+```sh
+oc adm must-gather --image=quay.io/rhobs/observability-operator:latest -- /usr/bin/gather
+```
+
+To gather default [OpenShift must-gather](https://github.com/openshift/must-gather) in addition to Observability Operator information: 
+```sh
+oc adm must-gather --image-stream=openshift/must-gather --image=quay.io/rhobs/observability-operator -- /usr/bin/gather
+```
+
+The command above will create a local directory with a dump of the Observability Operator state.
+
+You will get a dump of:
+- The observability-operator operator deployment
+- All observability-operator operant pods
+- Alertmanager and Prometheus status for all stacks
+
+In order to get data about other parts of the cluster (not specific to observability-operator ) you should
+run `oc adm must-gather` (without passing a custom image). Run `oc adm must-gather -h` to see more options.
+
+Example must-gather for observability-operator output:
+```
