* [sosreport] Allow user-controllable plugin timeoutsJake Hunsaker2019-03-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allows users to specify a timeout for each plugin using the '-k plugin.timeout=value' syntax by adding the 'timeout' option to every plugin. Additionally, adds the --plugin-timeout option to set a timeout for _all_ plugins. If --plugin-timeout and a specific -k timeout option is provided, the -k timeout option will be applied for those specific plugins, with --plugin-timeout being applied to all others. In either case, specifying a timeout of 0 seconds results in no timeout being applied. In the event that an invalid timeout is set, the timeout will be set to the default value for the plugin.

* [sosreport] Add mechanism to encrypt final archiveJake Hunsaker2018-07-121-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds an option to encrypt the resulting archive that sos generates. There are two methods for doing so: --encrypt-key Uses a key-pair for asymmetric encryption --encrypt-pass Uses a password for symmetric encryption For key-pair encryption, the key-to-be-used must be imported into the root user's keyring, as gpg does not allow for the use of keyfiles. If the encryption process fails, sos will not abort as the unencrypted archive will have already been created. The assumption being that the archive is still of use and/or the user has another means of encrypting it. Resolves: #1320 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bryn M.

* [sosreport] Concurrently run pluginsJake Hunsaker2018-06-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Changes sos to run plugins concurrently. By default sos will now use four (4) threads to run plugins, allowing for faster overall execution of sosreport. The number of threads can be changed using the --threads commandline option. Plugins now also have a timeout applied to them as a whole to avoid situations where sosreport appears to be hung. If a plugin exceeds the timeout threshold, the plugin will be terminated immediately. - this allows sos to not only continue running normally, but should still allow for collection of commands run by the plugin up until it was terminated. The timeout is plugin controlled, and defaults to 300 seconds if not set. Note that for python2 environments, this adds a dependency on python-futures. The futures module is present in the standard library for python3 environments. Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [sosreport] Allow policies to change report name generationJake Hunsaker2018-04-171-2/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the way sos generates the name for the final archive. Policies may now control the naming pattern by changing the new 'name_pattern' attribute. By default, this is set to 'legacy' for all policies, and maintains the naming pattern that sos has used up until this point. A policy may also set name_pattern to 'friendly' which will result in a more user-friendly name for the archive. Additionally, a policy may set name_pattern to a format() parsable string to explicitly set how the tarball should be named. Additionally, this removes the prompt for a 'customer name' on the report when running interactively. Instead, the short hostname of the system is now always used in place of the 'customer name'. A new option, --label, has been added (and which --name will now map to) which if provided will append a user-given string to the archive name after the hostname. This also sets the Red Hat policy to use the new 'friendly' pattern. Closes: #469 Resolves: #1175 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@redhat.com>

* [sosreport] initial profiles supportBryn M. Reeves2014-09-161-6/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add simple profile support. Plugins can define a 'profiles' attribute that contains a list of profile names that this plugin belongs to. If a profile is given on the command line only plugins belonging to that profile will run. Two new command-line options are introduced in thie commit: --list-profiles --profile=NAME Profiles can be combined with -l/--list-plugins in order to see the effect of the profile on the set of enabled plugins.

* Remove --profile supportBryn M. Reeves2014-03-251-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The handrolled profile logging support in sos hasn't been widely used in a long time and is a problem better solved with external profiling and coverage tools. Rip out all the support and documentation. This shortens and simplifies numerous Plugin class methods. Fixes Issue #244. Signed-off-by: Bryn M. Reeves <bmr@redhat.com>
* Remove --upload optionBryn M. Reeves2014-01-241-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | The --upload option has a lot of limitations and has not been widely used. Recent trends are to handle uploading data in higher-level tools (e.g. redhat-support-tool or web based management UIs) and the python ftp library does not support modern requirements like HTTP proxy traversal or encryption.

* Rename --silent to --quietBryn M. Reeves2013-03-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 'silent' is a poort name for an option that admits to not being silent: --silent Only display FATAL errors on stdout Rename the option to '--quiet' instead and document it in the man page. It's probably also worth either documenting the fact that UI text is still printed when --quiet is given in non-batch mode or changing interactive mode to only print essential prompts when run with --quiet.
