The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.3. This release includes a number of quality-of-life changes to both end user experience and for contributors dealing with the plugin API. A subset of the changes in this release are highlighted below.

Global Changes

  • Failed CI test logs will now be uploaded to GCP and available for review via the CirrusCI test page for the test that failed.
  • sos is now available as a snap.

Policy Changes

  • Added a policy for OpenEuler.
  • Added a policy for RockyLinux.
  • Sysroot determination and usage is now determined once during policy initialization, and sysroot usage is now fully consistent across sos components.
  • Added a container runtime abstraction for crio.

Report Changes

  • Added 6 new plugins: dellrac, gcloud, openshift_ovn, perccli, udisk, unbound
  • The ceph plugin has been spit into ceph_common, ceph_mds, ceph_mgr, ceph_mon, ceph_osd, and ceph_rgw.
  • A new --estimate-only option is available that will attempt to estimate the amount of disk space used by sos for a given set of options.
  • Fixed a bug where host services would not be inspected properly if sos was run from a container.
  • The runc plugin has been removed as it was redundant with other container plugins.
  • The openvswitch plugin has been expanded to collect OpenFlow protocols.
  • Fixed a bug in the unpackaged plugin that could cause the plugin to hang on recursive syminks.
  • The networking plugin is now better organized when collecting from network namespaces.
  • Fixed a bug in the virsh plugin that would cause no information to be collected, due to newer virsh commands requiring a TTY.
  • When using --all-logs, and/or for collections where sizelimit=0, sos will now write that output directly to disk, rather than storing it in memory.

Plugin API

  • Plugin options are now defined via the PluginOpt class, rather than as tuples.
    • More information for contributors is available in the wiki
  • SCL plugin commands will no longer overwrite PATH.
  • Renamed get_container_logs() to add_container_logs() which should be used to copy a container's stdout logs to a report archive.
  • add_cmd_output() now supports a container parameter which, if set, will cause the specified commands to be executed inside the specified container(s), provided those container(s) exist.
  • add_copy_spec() also now supports a container parameter to allow specified files to be copied from container(s).
    • Note that this currently does not function for crio managed containers, as crio does not support this functionality.

Clean|Mask Changes

  • sos clean can now also obfuscate insights archives, as well as "plain" directories or tar archives.
  • /etc/hosts is now sourced for domains to obfuscate, alongside hostname output.
  • Improved username sourcing.
  • The username and keyword parsers are now much more efficient when handling large lists of items to obfuscate.
  • Domain and subdomain matching has been simplified.
  • Improved per-parser file and keyword skipping to provide for more reliable and useful obfuscations.
  • Reduced false positive matches for hostnames, domains, and mac address.
  • Domain and sub-domain matching with the hostname parser should now be more reliable.

Collect Changes

  • Node connections have been abstracted away from ssh directly as the remote transport. While ssh is still the default, other mechanisms may be used for remote connections.
    • This may be controlled via the --transport option.
    • Added a new oc transport for use in OCP environments. Using this transport will cause sos to create a temporary project within the OCP environment being collected from.
  • The --master option has been fully removed and replaced with --primary, or the aliases --controller, or --manager.
  • Cluster cleanup is now more consistently called regardless of if collect was successful or not.

Help (new!)

sos help is a new sub-command for sos with this release. Using sos help $topic will provide users with more information on specific aspects or sos, such as more detailed plugin information, than is available via normal --help output or man pages.

To see what kind of information is available, try sos help or sos help report to get started.
