Description

The sos package in RHEL7 does not collect vdsm.log (this is probably collected by the vdsm plugin in the vdsm package shipped with RHEV).
> Give to user options collect from host only “vdsm.log” and “libvirtd.log” logs.
Don't enable the 'vdsm', 'logs', or 'libvirt' plugins as appropriate:
# sosreport -n logs
# sosreport -n vdsm
# sosreport -n libvirt,logs,vdsm
Or whatever combination you want.
Otherwise you can set a global size limit for individual logs that's small enough to only collect the data you want (files exceeding the limit are tailed in the report).
All of these are years old options described in the manual page. We can add more sophisticated controls if needed but it looks like you just need to use the existing capabilities for now.
Can you please provide input on comment #2? Will these option allow us to complete bug 973539? (In reply to Bryn M. Reeves from comment #2) > The sos package in RHEL7 does not collect vdsm.log (this is probably > collected by the vdsm plugin in the vdsm package shipped with RHEV). yes, vdsm is shipping a sos plugin within its code. I opened bug #1168500 asking to have it moved from vdsm to sos 2 years ago. > > Give to user options collect from host only “vdsm.log” and “libvirtd.log” logs. > > Don't enable the 'vdsm', 'logs', or 'libvirt' plugins as appropriate: > > # sosreport -n logs > > # sosreport -n vdsm > > # sosreport -n libvirt,logs,vdsm > > Or whatever combination you want. I think you meant the opposite, collect only vdsm.log and libvirt.log so on EL7: sosreport -o libvirt,vdsm > Otherwise you can set a global size limit for individual logs that's small > enough to only collect the data you want (files exceeding the limit are > tailed in the report). > > All of these are years old options described in the manual page.

I agree, we can close this as not a bug. > I think you meant the opposite, collect only vdsm.log and libvirt.log so
> on EL7: sosreport -o libvirt,vdsm
No, I think I meant what I wrote. The -n option selectively disables plugins, the -o option selectively enables them.
Depending on the outcome you want you can use either (afaik the logCollector script is already using -o to specify a hard-coded list of plugins so you can either remove entries from the list or override them with -n - whichever is most convenient for the existing structure).
Of course, using profiles (--profile=prof1,prof2,...) and the global --log-size option is the preferred method today - we'd have no objection to maintaining a profile for RHEV and oVirt's use upstream that selects just the required plugins and gets rid of the need to maintain plugin lists in another component (which already has broken several times).
Anyway, agreed: NOTABUG.
