[RFE] Add plugin disable/enable option

I want to be able to disable plugins by specifying a wildcard for plugin detection testing.

The sosreport should accept two new option: --disableplugin --enableplugin.
Example:
sosreport --disableplugin '*' --enableplugin collectd

It would act like executing sosreport without arguments while having all plugins except collectd disabled in config file. That way we can easily check if the plugin is activated by tested conditions.

Doesn't option "-o onlyplugin1,onlyplugin2" suffice here?

Comment 3 Maros Kopec 2020-09-03 06:55:21 UTC

I was under the impression that option '-o' executes sosreport with plugin automatically activated.
After playing around with this option, it is exactly the functionality I was expecting from this RFE.

Thank you, feel free to close this bug.
