Description of problem: The following message after collection is unclear. "You can use the following filters in the next execution -c, -d, -H to reduce the archive size." Current wording is confusing as I wasn't sure if it was listing additional compression options or what it meant. The majority of options for flags listed in help use --WORD and not -letter. I think a few additional words would be helpful. "You can use the following filters -c, -d, -H in the next execution to limit the number of RHV datacenters, clusters, or hosts that are collected in order to reduce the archive size. Try ovirt-log-collector -help for additional information." -=>>ovirt-log-collector --user=admin@internal --no-hypervisors This command will collect system configuration and diagnostic information from this system.

Expected results: "You can use the following filters -c, -d, -H in the next execution to limit the number of RHV datacenters, clusters, or hosts that are collected in order to reduce the archive size. Try ovirt-log-collector -help for additional information." Additional info: Perhaps this is very clear to everyone, it wasn't to me and that's why I filed this.
Sure, anything that improves is welcome. My suggestion is: '\nYou can use the following filters -c, -d, -H in the ' 'next execution to limit the number of Datacenters,\n' 'Clusters or Hosts that are collected in order to ' 'reduce the archive size.'
