Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
Checksysreport is utility that analyse sosreport and create useful useful report that matches current bugs that can fit on that system.
http://thales-1.gsslab.fab.redhat.com/wcs/index.php
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
abrt 1.1.13
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. extract sosreport generated by abrt report
2. specify that sosreport in http://thales-1.gsslab.fab.redhat.com/wcs/index.php
Actual results:
sosreport is not analysed by checksysreport.
Expected results:
Checksysreport should analyse and create report.
Additional info:
If this is not fixed in 6.1, we will have 6 more months with no use of sosreport that comes with sosreport.
Yogesh, it is unlikely that this is caused by abrt (not impossible, just unlikely). ABRT just uses the sosreport command to create the sosreport, and copies it into the abrt report.
One thing to note is that for RHEL6 sosreport's are now compressed with XZ rather than gzip or bzip. Does the version of checksysreport on thales-1 handle XZ compressed tar-balls? It might be worth trying to create an sosreport on RHEL6 and seeing if thales-1 can handle it. Also, just in case, ABRT passes the following flags to sosreport (to speed up report creation). This _should_ not have an effect on checksysreport, but it's worth looking into.

This happens because sosreport generated by abrt has some important files missing. I did almost all sanity checking... decompressed xz and created tar.gz out of it.... didn't help.
these are the options that abrt passes to sosreport by default. Please check if one or more of these options is what causes sosreport to not include redhat-release:
sosreport --batch --only=anaconda --only=bootloader --only=devicemapper \
--only=filesys --only=hardware --only=kernel --only=libraries --only=memory \
--only=networking --only=nfsserver --only=pam --only=process \
--only=rpm -k rpm.rpmva=off --only=ssh --only=startup --only=yum

I am getting error /etc/redhat-release file missing.
We need to add --only=general for that.
