DESCRIPTION

sosreport generates a compressed tar archive of diagnostic information from the running system. The archive may be stored locally or centrally for recording or tracking purposes or may be sent to technical support representatives, developers or system administrators to assist with technical fault-finding and debugging.

Sos is modular in design and is able to collect data from a wide range of subsystems and packages that may be installed. An XML or HTML report summarizing the collected information is optionally generated and stored within the archive.

OPTIONS

-l, --list-plugins

List all available plugins and their options. Plug-ins that would not be enabled by the current configuration are listed separately.

Disable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.

-e, --enable-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]

Enable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.

-o, --only-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]

Enable the specified plugin(s) only (all other plugins should be disabled). Multiple plugins may be specified by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.

-k PLUGNAME.PLUGOPT[=VALUE]
