.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBsosreport\fR generates an archive of configuration and diagnostic
information from the running system. The archive may be stored locally
or centrally for recording or tracking purposes or may be sent to
technical support representatives, developers or system administrators
to assist with technical fault-finding and debugging.
.LP
Sos is modular in design and is able to collect data from a wide
range of subsystems and packages that may be installed. An
XML or HTML report summarizing the collected information is
optionally generated and stored within the archive.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-l, \--list-plugins
List all available plugins and their options. Plug-ins that would
not be enabled by the current configuration are listed separately.
.TP
.B \-n, --skip-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
Disable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified
by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.
.TP
.B \-e, --enable-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
Enable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified
by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.
.TP
.B \-o, --only-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
Enable the specified plugin(s) only (all other plugins should be
disabled). Multiple plugins may be specified by repeating the option
or as a comma-separated list.
.TP
.B \-k PLUGNAME.PLUGOPT[=VALUE], \--plugin-option=PLUGNAME.PLUGOPT[=VALUE]
Specify plug-in options. The option PLUGOPT is enabled, or set to the
specified value in the plug-in PLUGNAME.
.TP
.B \-a, \--alloptions
Set all boolean options to True for all enabled plug-ins.
.TP
.B \-v, \--verbose
Increase logging verbosity. May be specified multiple times to enable
additional debugging messages.
.TP
.B \-q, \--quiet
Only log fatal errors to stderr.
.TP
.B \--no-report
Disable HTML/XML report writing.
.TP
.B \--config-file CONFIG
Specify alternate configuration file.
.TP
.B \-s, \--sysroot SYSROOT
Specify an alternate root file system path. Useful for collecting
reports from containers and images.
.TP
.B \-c, \--chroot {auto|always|never}
Set the chroot mode. When \--sysroot is used commands default to
executing with SYSROOT as the root directory (unless disabled by
a specific plugin). This can be overriden by setting \--chroot to
"always" (alwyas chroot) or "never" (always run in the host
namespace).
.TP
.B \--tmp-dir DIRECTORY
Specify alternate temporary directory to copy data as well as the
compressed report.
.TP
.B \--list-profiles
Display a list of available profiles and the plugins that they enable.
.TP
.B \-p, \--profile NAME
Only run plugins that correspond to the given profile. Multple profiles
may be specified as a comma-separated list; the set of plugins executed
is the union of each of the profile's plugin sets. Currently defined
profiles include: boot, cluster, desktop, debug, hardware, identity,
network, openstack, packagemanager, security, services, storage,
sysmgmt, system, performance, virt, and webserver.
.TP
.B \--verify
Instructs plugins to perform plugin-specific verification during data
collection. This may include package manager verification, log integrity
testing or other plugin defined behaviour. Use of \--verify may cause
the time taken to generate a report to be considerably longer.
.TP
.B \--log-size
Places a global limit on the size (in MiB) of any collected set of logs. The
limit is applied separately for each set of logs collected by any
plugin.
.TP
.B \--all-logs
Tell plugins to collect all possible log data ignoring any size limits
and including logs in non-default locations. This option may significantly
increase the size of reports.
.TP
.B \-z, \--compression-type METHOD
Override the default compression type specified by the active policy.
.TP
.TP
.B \--batch
Generate archive without prompting for interactive input.
.TP
.B \--name NAME
Specify a name to be used for the archive.
.TP
.B \--case-id NUMBER
Specify a case identifier to associate with the archive.
Identifiers may include alphanumeric characters, commas and periods ('.').
Synonymous with \--ticket-number.
.TP
.B \--ticket-number NUMBER
Specify a ticket number or other identifier to associate with the archive.
Identifiers may include alphanumeric characters, commas and periods ('.').
Synonymous with \--case-id.
.TP
.B \--build
Do not archive copied data. Causes sosreport to leave an uncompressed
archive as a temporary file or directory tree.
.TP
.B \--debug
Enable interactive debugging using the python debugger. Exceptions in
sos or plug-in code will cause a trap to the pdb shell.
.TP
.B \--experimental
Enable plugins marked as experimental. Experimental plugins may not have
been tested for this port or may still be under active development.
.TP
.B \--help
Display usage message.
