Sosreport

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-3.8. This release contains a number of enhancements, new features, and bug fixes including:

- 6 new plugins: container_log, frr, leapp, openstack_placement, qt, and vdsm (both backported from downstream)

- The `kubernetes` plugin can now optionally grab logs only for certain pods

- The `kdump` plugin will now collect `initramfs` content

- The `pulp` and `foreman` plugins now support collecting from an external database

- The `sar` plugin will now collect the full sar log dir

- The `vdsm` and `ovirt` plugins will now collect host certificates

- The `openvswitch` plugin will now enable on `openvswitch2.*` packages

- Added support for only capturing logs after a specific date, see the new `--since` option

- Fixed an issue causing high CPU utilization which slowed journal collection

- Fixed an issue where plugins could continue executing commands after their timeout was hit

- `sosreport` will no longer abort execution on Red Hat family systems when the package manager fails to query a file list

- Plugin API enhancements
- Plugins may now capture environment variables, which will be written to `/environment` in the sos archive root

- Plugins may now write command output to subdirs within their own `sos_commands/plugin` directory
- The container plugins have been updated to make use of this functionality

- `SoSPredicate` usage may now be match either `any` or `all` of the provided elements, and may mix requirements of `kmods` and `services` to determine if a command should be collected


- Significant changes to the reporting system of sos

- HTML reports replaced by a `Report` subclass
- HTML report creation time is significantly improved
- Added a JSON formatted report option


- Allow system changes option
- A new `--allow-system-changes` option has been added that will allow users to collect certain data, even if it means the host system would be changed. For example, the `networking` plugin will not run certain commands if specific kernel modules are not loaded, unless `--allow-system-changes` is specified, in which case the missing kernel modules will be loaded when the command(s) run.
