option --only-plugins does not work

anxstj commented 2 years ago

I like to execute only one plugin and it seems that -o | --only-plugins should be used for that purpose. But

# sos report --only-plugins yum --dry-run

sosreport (version 4.3)

It still executes all default plugins. I would expect that -o | --only-plugins only enables the listed plugin(s).

Disabling each plugin works, so a workaround could look like:

sos report -n sysvipc -n systemd -n system -n sudo -n services -n selinux -n scsi -n rpm -n release -n python -n processor -n process -n pam -n pci -n networking -n multipath -n memory -n md -n lvm2 -n logs -n logrotate -n login -n libvirt -n libraries -n ldap -n krb5 -n kernel -n i18n -n host -n hardware -n firewall_tables -n filesys -n ebpf -n dnf -n devices -n devicemapper -n dbus -n crypto -n cgroups -n block -n anaconda --dry-run

Edit: Version information:

$ cat /etc/os-release
NAME="CentOS Stream"
VERSION="9"
$ rpm -q sos
sos-4.3-1.el9.noarch

TurboTurtle commented 2 years ago

What does your /etc/sos/sos.conf look like? Was this rpm installed from the CentOS repos or some mirror? Can you check rpm -V sos to see if perhaps it has been modified in some way?

I just spun up a CS 9 VM, and -o is working as expected for me out of the box:

[root@cs9test ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Stream release 9
[root@cs9test ~]# rpm -q sos
sos-4.3-1.el9.noarch

[root@cs9test ~]# sos report -o kernel --batch

sosreport (version 4.3)

Description :
Sos is a set of tools that gathers information about system
hardware and configuration. The information can then be used for
diagnostic purposes and debugging. Sos is commonly used to help
support technicians and developers.

With the following steps:

docker run -it quay.io/centos/centos:stream9 bash
dnf install sos
sos report -o kernel --batch

I get this result:

It's similar to running sos report --batch.

TurboTurtle commented 2 years ago

Can you enable verbose logging and provide the contents of sos_logs/sos.log (either in a pastebin or attach the whole file here)? sos report -o kernel -vvv --batch should be fine.

anxstj commented 2 years ago

I attached the output from sos report -o kernel -vvv --batch 2>&1> sos_report.verbose.log. But I couldn't find a sos.log file.

sos_report.verbose.log.gz

TurboTurtle commented 2 years ago

The log would be in the generated tarball, but what you've provided is fine.

It looks like the cantboot preset is getting loaded:

[sos.report:setup] using 'cantboot' preset defaults (--all-logs --plugopts boot.all-images=on,rpm.rpmva=on,rpm.rpmdb=on --profiles boot,storage,system --verify)
[sos.report:setup] effective options now: --all-logs --batch --only-plugins kernel --plugopts boot.all-images=on,rpm.rpmva=on,rpm.rpmdb=on --profiles boot,storage,system -vvv --verify

Which is actually extending the effective list of -o by enabling the profiles listed.

The cantboot preset is enabled when sos detects that you're running in emergency or rescue mode as reported by systemd.

So, we have a conflict here:

In cases where systemd reports we're in one of those modes, we do want to run the cantboot preset. This preset was designed specifically to assist RHEL users engaged with RH support in this exact scenario.
However, this conflicts with the implied meaning of -o. It's not so much that -o isn't working, it's that other bits are working as well.

@pmoravec @jjansky1 @slashdd - I'm leaning towards the thought that -o should block presets from being loaded/probed, but perhaps there's another approach that would be better?

pmoravec commented 2 years ago

I am on torns, as there are a few opposing factors:

if a user specifies a command line argument, we should assume it is the more desired way of running sos than what the tool automatically detects
but if we argue "-o overwrites any preset as the user wants that", how does it apply on only-plugins config option (when we dont know if it was manually intentionally set by a user, or it is e.g. automatically set option)?
cantboot preset i somehow specific, more important than the others, right? BUT should our options logic honour different presets with different weight? Will not that be more confusing? I.e. when one adds a custom preset similar to cantboot, should we treat it as the special-preset-we-have-to-strictly-follow, or as a regular preset with options we can overwrite manually?
in either case, when we (dont) overwrite some options in potentially confusing manner, we should more verbosingly tell i to the user (maybe even warn level t have it in console?). Esp. when some option (e.g. from cmdline) alters some non-default value (set by e.g. config file or preset)?

Still I tend to the option "first apply preset, then overwrite it per user/configfile preferences".

TurboTurtle commented 2 years ago

Yeah, this one is tricky. I'm starting to think that perhaps in edge cases like this, we should point to the usage of --preset=none instead of trying to contort the options handling flow more than we already do?

@anxstj if you run sos report -o kernel --preset=none, does that change the behavior you're seeing?

anxstj commented 2 years ago

Yes, running sos report -o kernel --preset=none works. Only the kernel plugin will be executed.

Just another idea: I execute this in a container without a running systemd. So maybe the rescue or emergency mode detection doesn't work as expected in this case.

TurboTurtle commented 2 years ago

Aha! Got it - because systemd isn't present in your container, sos is loading a fallback "allow everything" init system abstraction. This in turn blindly reports that every service queried to it is running, in an effort to not block service-based plugin collections.

I'm thinking our best approach here is to add a method specific to these runlevel-analogous targets rather than checking them as an actual service.

In the meantime, you can either continue using --preset=none, or if your goal is to actually capture information from the host instead of within the container you'll need to mount the host's / filesystem within the container and set the HOST env var to this location. You'll also need to pass the host's namespaces E.G.: docker run -it -v /:/host -e HOST=/host --privileged --ipc=host --net=host --pid=host $image $cmd.

This usecase is primarily (solely, really) driven by the RH support-tools container for CoreOS collections, so if you have access to the RH registry you can do podman container runlabel RUN registry.redhat.io/rhel8/support-tools. That will setup the container with the mount as above, and a few other bits, in a more user-friendly manner.
