Description daniel 2016-02-23 13:05:08 UTC
1. Proposed title of this feature request  
  [RFE] include sosreport command line options --all-logs and --log-size= in /etc/sos.conf
  
  
3. What is the nature and description of the request?  
Currently sosreport only takes --all-logs and --log-size=  as command line options but are not permanently configurable via /etc/sos.conf.

  
4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)  
When having a huge environment and lots of admins dealing with it it's likely, especially in an escalation situation that one forgets to add theses parameters and not all files are collected needed for initial analysis when huge log files are created (e.g RHEV env).
Further on with puppet, ansible or any other config management in place it would be simple to roll out a common /etc/sos.conf covering this in case it could be configured there.

  
5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)  
make the --all-logs and --log-size options from sosreport command line also configurable via /etc/sos.conf 
  
6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
add options to /etc/sos.conf and see if all files (--all-logs) and files up to a certain size (--log-size) are collected.
  
7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?  
could not find any
  
8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?  
RHEL7
  
9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?  
 no

10. List any affected packages or components.  
  sos-3.2-35.el7_2.3.noarch

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?  
sure

FYI I raised upstream issue / discussion in https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/855

Comment 10 Pavel Moravec 2017-09-04 07:30:25 UTC
No devel resources for 7.5

Comment 12 Pavel Moravec 2018-04-02 13:50:14 UTC
not planned for 7.6, a good candidate to some next-soon release, I would say.

Comment 13 Pavel Moravec 2018-12-04 08:25:31 UTC
Nice to have in the next release, depending on free capacity /o\.

Comment 14 Pavel Moravec 2019-03-20 12:23:54 UTC
POSTed to upstream.

Comment 17 Pavel Moravec 2019-04-17 09:56:43 UTC
Adjacent bug found so far:

https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/1651

that one would limit usage of the config file significantly, needs backporting as well.


Working on the FailedQA cause.

Comment 18 Pavel Moravec 2019-04-17 10:09:58 UTC
How to negate an option: the same way how to do via cmdline, e.g.:

all-logs=off  (or disable or disabled or false, case insensitive)

The trick is that general options are disabled by default so there is no way to test disabling them. But one can try adding to [tunables] section e.g.:

process.lsof=off

to turn off collecting lsof by process plugin. (this was verified by me to work well).

Comment 19 Pavel Moravec 2019-04-17 11:20:44 UTC
.. and man 5 sos.conf updates:
