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.

This bug was initially created as a copy of Bug #1923938

I am copying this bug because: 

To make 9.0beta in par with 8.5 where the original BZ is fixed.


In particular, backport 3 PRs:
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/2603
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/2605
https://github.com/sosreport/sos/pull/2606



Description of problem:
For "sos report --batch --build --no-report -o apache -k apache.log=yes", sos_logs/sos.log prints:

2021-02-02 09:38:25,187 INFO: [sos.report:setup] effective options now: --batch --build --noreport --only-plugins apache --plugopts apache.log=on

Some of the options are invalid / cant be used on cmdline:

--noreport
--plugopts apache.log=on

See https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/2288#issuecomment-771473281 for the complete list of such options.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-4.0-7


How reproducible:
100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Call sos report with either option mentioned in the https://github.com/sosreport/sos/issues/2288#issuecomment-771473281 .
2. Grep for "effective options" in sos_logs/sos.log to see if valid option was printed there.


Actual results:
Invalid options printed there.


Expected results:
cmdline options to match "effective options".


Additional info:
some cmdline options names will change, that's ok/expected.
