Description of problem: RHEL 6.3 - running sosreport generates a warning about sysctl process `sosreport' is using deprecated sysctl (syscall) net.ipv6.neigh.default.retrans_time; Use net.ipv6.neigh.default.retrans_time_ms instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sos-2.2-29.el6.noarch How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run sosreport 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Thanks for the report - these two are strict synonyms (if you modify one the change is reflected in the other) so there is no loss of diagnostic data if we switch to retrans_time_ms. We're working on changing proc and sys collection upstream (should land in F18) to support blacklists which would handle this case. For now I'll look at adding a forbidden path for this specific sysctl (and also do a grep on RHEL6 kernel git to see if we have any others needing this treatment).
(confirming the reproducibility, just hit this exact instance)
The warning message can be found in syslog sink (/var/log/messages) with kernel as its origin.
