The new [Next-Gen WAF core command line utility](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/guides/next-gen-waf/setup-and-configuration/kubernetes/using-the-ngwaf-core-command-line-utility) (`ngwafctl`) is a tool that compiles information about your [Next-Gen WAF core installation](https://docs.fastly.com/products/fastly-next-gen-waf#deployment-types) within your Kubernetes environment and cloud provider. The tool can perform basic troubleshooting and generate a support bundle containing logs and deployment specification details. You can use the utility to help troubleshoot issues with your Kubernetes Next-Gen WAF integration and can optionally send the generated support bundle TAR.GZ file to our [Support team](https://support.fastly.com) for additional help.
