System Information Gathering (released)</h2> + +<p>This application (sosreport) performs a function similar to what sysreport does now, but has a +pluggable architecture that will allow the inclusion of sos plugins to be +delivered with any package. These plugins can gather information needed +for troubleshooting that package, provide the ability to turn on other +debugging or reporting that is of interest for that package, provide some +analysis to be done to notify the customer of improper configuration or +operation, and integrate the reporting from the plugin with other system information.</p> + +<p>Reports are provided in html. The report integrates reports from various plugins, +along with the results of analysis performed by those plugins. In addition, future policy +plugins may provide links in the output for additional operations, such as opening a ticket +with a Support CRM system, submitting the system information to a web hosted tool for further +analysis, or submitting the information for attachment to a ticket already open within a support +CRM system. + +<h2>2. Integration of additional debugging tools (future)</h2> + +<p>An API will be provided that allows delivery of additional tools which may +be enabled and disabled through a simple unified interface by the end user. +For example, we expect to provide scripts that will use sar, systemtap, +enable performance counters, etc. For all tools that are enabled, reports +will be included in subsequent system information reports and integrated in +the heirarchical result navigation.</p> + +<p>This will allow Support Organizations to easily walk the customer (by phone or +email or chat) through a simple interface to enable the gathering of troubleshooting +information specific to the problem being addressed.</p> + +<h2>3. Integration with Support CRM and other ticketing systems</h2> + +<p>The tools in the package will allow simplified interaction with Support CRM systems. +Once system information is gathered, the customer will have an option to open an +issue with support. Verification of entitlement for support and filing the ticket +with the system information and problem description attached will be handled by policy plugins +that can be customized for integration with different CRM systems.</p> + +<hr> + +<h1> List of current requirements</h1> + +<p>TBD</p> +Here are the sos requirements as they stand: + +<hr> +<i>sos is the international distress call, and also stands for "son of sysreport"</i> +<hr> </body> </html> |
