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 Maros Kopec 2020-09-03 06:21:22 UTC 
[RFE] Add plugin disable/enable option

I want to be able to disable plugins by specifying a wildcard for plugin detection testing.

The sosreport should accept two new option: --disableplugin --enableplugin.
Example:
sosreport --disableplugin '*' --enableplugin collectd

It would act like executing sosreport without arguments while having all plugins except collectd disabled in config file. That way we can easily check if the plugin is activated by tested conditions.
Comment 2 Pavel Moravec 2020-09-03 06:23:00 UTC 
Doesn't option "-o onlyplugin1,onlyplugin2" suffice here?
Comment 3 Maros Kopec 2020-09-03 06:55:21 UTC 
I was under the impression that option '-o' executes sosreport with plugin automatically activated.
After playing around with this option, it is exactly the functionality I was expecting from this RFE.

Thank you, feel free to close this bug.
