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 jcastran 2023-06-29 14:14:30 UTC 
Description of problem:
sos report does not gather the symlink /etc/grub2-efi.cfg when present


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sos-4.5.4-1.el8.noarch



Expected results:
if /etc/grub2-efi.cfg is present, we should grab it no matter what.

If a system is legacy, but has this file, grubby default to using this one first in some cases. Therefore we need to know if it's present or not.
Comment 1 Jose Castillo 2023-06-29 14:19:32 UTC 
Thank you for the bug report. Are you aware of any password or secret that we need to mask in this file? Or is the format the same as with grub2.cfg?
Comment 2 jcastran 2023-06-29 14:43:07 UTC 
The formatting should be the same. 

Checking here, [How to password-protect the GRUB2 boot menu in RHEL 7 and above - Red Hat Customer Portal](https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2253401), any passwords would be in a separate file.
