* [Policy] Correct and clarify https upload internalsJake Hunsaker2021-05-141-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The python requests module does not provide actual support for streaming, that is provided by requests-toolchain. The support in requests is for easy multipart uploads. The internal methods and variables for https uploads within `Policy` however revolve around streaming enablement, but don't actually influence the use of streaming or not. This was due to placeholders during development just being carried forward rather than corrected before merge. This was largely forgotten about, until recent reports of upload issues for user-provided endpoints. This commit serves to correct the language around the currently supported https upload functionality. That is, we either use a 'put' or 'post' based on the loaded policy defaults. Further, allow users to control this setting with a new `--upload-method` option. This will allow users to specify upload urls that may require the opposite HTTP method than what the policy defaults dictate. Related: #2497 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [man] Add missing log-size report option to collect manpageJake Hunsaker2021-04-301-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | The `collect` component supports `--log-size` as a passthru option for report. Add it to the `collect` manpage for completeness. Related: #2510 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [man] Properly document size limits in manpageJake Hunsaker2021-04-301-3/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | Updates the description of `--log-size` in the manpage for `report` so that it accurately reflects how size limitations are determined and imposed during collections. Closes: #1900 Resolves: #2513 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [logging] Fix archive debug logging, adjust verbosity levelsJake Hunsaker2021-04-281-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fixes an issue where archive debug logging was controlled by the use of `--debug` rather than `--verbose`. Removes a superfluous log in `FileCacheArchive.add_link()`. Also, adjusts the different verbosity levels to be more meaninful. Now, the use of `-v` will enable debug logging but will not print those messages to console, `-vv` will print debug logging to console, while `-vvv` will enable archive debug logging which is expected to be significant due to most file operations being logging at some point with archive debug logging.

* [report] add --cmd-timeout optionPavel Moravec2021-04-051-1/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add --cmd-timeout option to configure command timeout. Plugin-specific option of the same name (i.e. -k logs.cmd-timeout=60) can control the timeout per plugin. Option defaults and global/plugin-specific option preference follows the --plugin-timeout rules.

* [man] Multiple fixes in man pagesJose Castillo2021-03-043-8/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes references to sosreport, to the preferred 'sos report'. Also adds "SEE ALSO" consistently for all man pages, and fixes a MAINTAINER line. Resolves: #2432 Signed-off-by: Jose Castillo <jcastillo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* Clarify default timeout for all pluginsJose Castillo2021-02-221-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The default timeout for all plugins is 300, but the global timeout is set as -1 in the option list. This is because this timeout is unset by default. This patch attempts to clarify the -1 exposed to the user when using commands like 'sos report -l', via the option description as well as a note clarifying it in the man page.

* [clean] Allow specifying keywords in a text fileJake Hunsaker2021-02-221-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds the ability for users to provide a text file with a list of newline-delimited keywords that should be obfuscated, rather than requiring all keywords be specified either by the `--keywords` option or configuration file settings. Files may be provided via the new `--keyword-file` option which is available to `clean`, `collect`, and `report`. Closes: #2401 Resolves: #2408 Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [cleaner] Add 'cleaner' alias functionalityJose Castillo2021-02-091-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | The option 'cleaner' was not implemented as an alias. This patch enables it for both 'sos report' and 'sos collect'. Resolves: #2405 Signed-off-by: Jose Castillo <jcastillo@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [sos] Align plugin options with destination namesJake Hunsaker2021-02-032-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit alters several option long-form names or destination names to align those values in a sensible way. This serves to not only remove some abiguity in option naming in code, but also to make it so that the "effective options" line logged in every sos execution can be direction copy-pasted as a working command.

* [report] Allow users to specify commands and files to skipJake Hunsaker2020-11-032-0/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds two new options, `--skip-commands` and `--skip-files`, that allow users to selectively skip specific command or file collection instead of having to disable whole plugins to skip those collections. These options are also exposed via `sos collect`, being gated by a version of 4.1 since that is the next scheduled release where we can guarantee this functionality will be present.

* [Policy] Allow upload username/password provided via environment varsJake Hunsaker2020-09-021-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The username and password used by `Policy` when `--upload` is used may now be read via environment variables to avoid sensitive information from being included in `ps` output if they were provided via command-line options instead of the interactive prompts. Upload username may now be provided via the SOSUPLOADUSER variable. Upload password may now be provided via the SOSUPLOADPASSWORD variable.

* [docs] Update man page for sos.conf after configuration redesignJake Hunsaker2020-07-212-2/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Updates the manpage for further changes to the configuration design of sos. `man sos.conf` now includes information on non-root user overrides, as well as information regarding the subdirectories under `/etc/sos/` or `$HOME/.config/sos/`. The `sos_extras` plugin docstring has been copied into the man page as well for better coverage of how users are expected to use that plugin. The docstring remains in place in the actual plugin as well. Signed-off-by: Jake Hunsaker <jhunsake@redhat.com>
* [global] Update config file location and layoutJake Hunsaker2020-07-211-21/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moves the default config file we look for to /etc/sos/sos.conf instead of /etc/sos.conf. Extends the config file to look for a section matching the name of the component being used. Renames the "general" section to "global" and the "tunables" section to "plugin_options". Updates the default sos.conf to this style and adds some comments to the file. Update the man page for sos.conf. Note that this commit does NOT update sos.spec to drop the default configuration file in the new location, as that will be handled by a later commit to update the specfile wholesale.

|\ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds two mechanisms by which users can choose to disable postprocessing of collected information. First, is a global method exposed via the `--no-postproc` option. Using this option will skip postprocessing for all plugins. Second, is a per-plugin option exposed via a new 'postproc' plugin option.

* [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>
