1. Proposed title of this feature request
Improve runtime for sosreport by adding the usage of threads to archiving method


3. What is the nature and description of the request?
The time for creating sosreport on systems with high amount of logs resulting in large archives, can be tuned by adding thread-support easily.


4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
On debugging issues in RHV environment, the sosreport will require to archive a lot of logs which in sum have a large amount of size. Archiving these items will need a lot of time, because sos is only using single-thread for creating the archive

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
Using more processors for the archiving process


6. For each functional requirement listed, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Collect a sosreport without the tuning enabled and measure the time. With tuning enabled, the creation of sosreport would require less time.


7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat Bugzilla?
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/1196


8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies and which release would they like to target (i.e. RHEL5, RHEL6)?
asap


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


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