I don't think we wat to add such rhel specific feature to systemd.

But this can be very easily done in sos package.

Just provide a service unit that will create the report and have it activated by path unit.
Here is some example of such unit files
[root@vm-10-0-184-184 system]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/sos-on-core.path 
[Path]
PathChanged=/var/lib/systemd/coredump

[Install]
WantedBy=paths.target

[root@vm-10-0-184-184 system]# cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/sos-on-core.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=echo Hello

sos is a debugging tool, not monitoring.

Also, the configuration/feature "let sos report is generated on a coredump" should be configurable; default installation of sos package should not set that up. So, *how* sos can contain or deliver this feature?

I am rather for writing a KCS solution to let customers to create that service unit (and optionally configure the sos report args per their needs).

cww, what do you think?

Those unit files can be disabled by default. And in KB we could just write
"call systemctl enable sos-on-core.path "

Yep, that would work as well, those two unit files are super simple.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
