Created attachment 1127639 [details] lstopo-no-graphics > topo.txt Could you please add lstopo-no-graphics > topo.txt (ASCII output) and PNG output lstopo topo.png (see the attached file) to sosreport? It provides nice information about CPU topology and PCI connectivity. It's very useful when debugging and tuning the performance of server - to allocate the jobs to the right NUMA node, to see to which NUMA node network card is connected and so on. At the moment there is no comparable report in sosreport.

*** Bug 1294658 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
See upstream PR https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/771 - please comment there if having some concern.
QE is on edge of their capacity for sos in 7.3 - would you be able to verify the plugin once available in sos package?
Sure. I have changed the QA contact to myself.
Could you please add package "lstopo-no-graphics" to sos dependencies so that it's installed when sos is installed? "lstopo-no-graphics" - unlike "lstopo" - does not depend on X. Thanks a lot Jirka

Otherwise, sos can run without lstopo-no-graphics without an issue. A request to add lstopo-no-graphics to sos dependencies is like a request to add there e.g. httpd (since mentioned in apache plugin).

OK, thanks for the explanation.
Pavel is correct - this is a policy decision. We only depend on packages that are required by the sos runtime (python libs mostly). Everything else is collected opportunistically - we run approx. 800 possible commands today and adding package dependencies for all of these would lead to an explosion in the dep list for sos and also for the basic installation (since sos is in a group that is included in most of these install types).
Yes, it makes sense.
