RHBA-2014:0471 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An updated sos package that fixes one bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The sos package contains a set of utilities that gather information from system
hardware, logs, and configuration files. The information can then be used for
diagnostic purposes and debugging.

This update fixes the following bug:

• When the sos package was installed on a cluster that uses the pacemaker

resource manager, the sosreport utility incorrectly used the crm_report utility
of the pacemaker package to report data about the cluster. Consequently, the
sosreport utility did not return any data from the crm_report utility. Now, the
sosreport utility has been updated to collect the last 72 hours of data with the
crm_report utility by default. A new command-line option has also been added to
allow the user to specify a starting point for data collection, in the format of
'--from "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" '. As a result, the sosreport utility now
correctly collects data as expected. (BZ#1085732)

Users of sos are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this
bug.
