Reassigning to Jake as maintainer of sos-collector.

Jake, could you pls. ask for sos-collector component in RHEL8? I see the component in RHEL7 product only, but not in RHEL8. (and I dont know where to raise such requests :( ).
Comment 3 Jake Hunsaker 2019-01-04 14:18:10 UTC 
For sos-collector-1.5 you need to have the key loaded by an agent, e.g. ssh-agent.

However, this exact behavior is why we transitioned sos-collector away from paramiko as the transport since this error comes directly from paramiko not supporting the default key types in RHEL 8.

This is fixed in sos-collector-1.6
Comment 5 Jake Hunsaker 2019-01-04 15:02:56 UTC 
Closing as this is resolved in sos-collector-1.6 in RHEL 8, but did not make it in time for the Beta.
