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 Martin Kyral 2018-07-25 14:26:43 UTC 
Description of problem:
sosreport is not being generated by abrt because the 'general' plugin ceased to exist in sos and sos can't handle the situation a better way than just exit. Below is how sosreport runs (copy&poaste from /etc/libreport/events.d/abrt_event.conf):

# sosreport --tmp-dir "$DUMP_DIR" --batch \
>                 --only=anaconda --only=boot --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=services --only=yum --only=general --only=x11 \
>                 --only=cups --only=logs --only=grub2 --only=cron --only=pci \
>                 --only=auditd --only=selinux --only=lvm2 --only=sar \

Comment 1 Matej Marušák 2018-07-26 06:27:37 UTC 
Yeah, it seems that we had been warned https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=927198#c6 :) 

We need to decide if we use default settings of sosreport
, which enable 107 plugins, run for 85s and create archive of size 18M, or use our own settings, which enable 27 plugins, run for 25s and create archive of size 12M . (These numbers are from my machine, it may differ significantly on different machine).

It would be also nice to find out, what was in that `general` option.
Comment 2 Miroslav Suchý 2018-08-17 14:04:47 UTC 
The plugin "general" has been split into several others plugins:
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/commit/971b9581779da20384f0a4d8de5177c0b87d6892

So instead "--only=general" we should run: "--only=date --only=host"
