sos Report Available Plugins
sos report plugins are modular components of the sos report tool that allow it to collect specific sets of data or logs from various software, services, and subsystems in a Linux box. Each plugin is designed to collect information related to a particular application, service, or subsystem, making it easier to analyze the root causes of issues related to that component.
Key Features:
- Custom Data Collection: Plugins are created to gather data from various sources such as system logs, configurations, performance metrics, hardware details, and application-specific information.
- Modular Design: Each plugin is designed to target a specific component of the system (e.g., network, storage, database, etc.), which makes the process of generating a report more efficient.
- Extensibility: The sos tool can be extended with custom plugins, enabling it to support additional software or systems not included by default.
- Data Consistency: Plugins ensure that the data collected for different system components is consistent, improving the analysis process when combined with other system data.
How Plugins Work:
Plugins are typically implemented as Python scripts or modules that are executed during the sos report generation process. These plugins can:
- Parse configuration files.
- Collect log files.
- Gather statistics about running processes or system resources.
- Create dumps of specific application data.
- Collect data in predefined formats to ensure consistency.
The exact number of plugins in the sos report tool can vary depending on the version and the specific distribution of Linux being used (e.g., CentOS, RHEL, Fedora, Ubuntu, etc.). However, there are typically around 250 plugins included in a standard sos report package.
