splunk diag command doesn't work with --exclude in splunk version 6.0

[jdastmalchi_spl]

The flags such as exclude as explained in http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/6.0/Troubleshooting/ContactSplunkSupport don't work for version 6.0.

./splunk diag --exclude */passwd

Command error: '*/passwd' is not a valid command. Please run 'splunk help' to see the valid commands.

This is a known issue SPL-75535 and fixed in 6.0.1 for version 6.0 workaround is :

./splunk cmd python $SPLUNK-HOME/lib/python2.7/site-packages/splunk/clilib/info_gather.py --exclude */passwd
