NAME
       sosreport - Generate debugging information for this system

SYNOPSIS
       sosreport
		 [-l|--list-plugins]
		 [-n|--skip-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-e|--enable-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-o|--only-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-a|--alloptions] [-v|--verbose]
		 [--no-multithread] [--no-progressbar]

DESCRIPTION
       sosreport  generates  a compressed tarball of debugging information for
       the system it is run on that can be sent to technical support reps that
       will give them a more complete view of the overall system status.

OPTIONS
       -l, --list-plugins
	      This  will list all available plugins showing which ones will be
	      enabled by the current configuration.  It	 will  also  show  all
	      plugin  options  which  can be modified using the -k option (see
	      below).

       -n, --skip-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Do not load specified plugin(s). To  specify  multiple  plugins,
	      separate them with a comma.

       -e, --enable-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Enable  the  specified  plugin(s).  To specify multiple plugins,
	      separate them with a comma.

       -o, --only-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Enable the specified plugin(s) only (all other plugins should be
	      disabled).  To  specify  multiple	 plugins, separate them with a
	      comma.

       -k PLUGNAME.PLUGOPT[=VALUE]
	      This is used to specify options for plugins. A list of available
	      plugin  options  can be obtained from the output of --list-plug‐
	      ins.  If no value is specified  and  the	option	is  a  boolean
	      (on/off), it will be set to "on".

       -a, --alloptions
	      Enable all (boolean) options for all loaded plugins.

       -v, --verbose
	      Increase	the  verbosity	of the output as sosreport is running.
	      Multiple -v mean more verbosity.

       --no-progressbar
	      Do not display a progress bar (ETA will not be available).

       --no-multithread
	      Disable multithreaded collection and analysis of	the  sosreport
	      data.
