Can sosreport be configured to not process /var/log/sa/saXX in RHEL6?
Issue
-
Running sosreports on servers on a regular basis and storing them off-system for reference. It was noticed that the the report from one of the systems was much larger than expected (and indeed filled up
/tmp
during creation). A quick investigation showed it was pulling the sar data from/var/log/sa/saXX
(as documented in the man page). -
The process was changed to add
-n sar
but the run is still collecting the sar data. Then it was tried changing to--skip-plugins sar
as well which didn't help. -
How can
sosreports
be run without the sar data?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6
- sosreport
