sos-4.8.0

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.8.0. There are several project-wide changes in this release, which will be the last minor version release for 2024. The next minor release (4.9.0) is scheduled for February 2025, though users may expect maintenance releases on top of 4.8.0 between now and then.

Global

• Major shoutout to @pponnuvel for the significant effort put into addressing linting reports and refactors across the project
• Project naming patterns have been further clarified as "sos (space) $component", e.g. sos report instead of sosreport.
• Deprecation notice: the old-style command redirectors such as sosreport are deprecated and will be removed in the next minor version (sos-4.9).
• License Clarification: it was brought up that there was ambiguity in our licensing, namely "GPLv2 only" vs "GPLv2 or later". The sos project has always intended to be "GPLv2 only" and has clarified this stance across the repository.
  • See discussion #3705 for more details.
• The automated snap build of sos has been updated to use core24.
• This release is the last release that will have a minimum python version of python-3.6. Subsequent releases will have a minimum python version of python-3.8.

• Fixed a bug where all-logs may not have captured output if the command being collected was installed via snap packaging.

  Plugin

  • New plugins: fail2ban, microcloud
  • A new add_dir_listing() method has been added to standardize collections of directory listings in plugins.
    • The tree parameter can be specified to collect tree output instead of ls output
  • A new is_snap_installed() method has been added to standardize checking if a package is installed as a snap.
  • The container_log plugin has been updated to collect rotated logs.
  • The sunbeam_hypervisor plugin will now properly obfuscate ceilometer and hooks.log.
  • The networking plugin will now capture nmstatectl output.
  • The maas plugin has been significantly refactored.

Policy

sos-4.5.5

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.5.5. This release has a number of edge case bug fixes, as well as the start of an overhaul to the concurrency approach to cleaner, which will happen over several releases.

Global Changes

• sos.spec has been updated to more closely align with Fedora guidelines.
• Build snaps as part of merging to main should be more reliable now.

Report Changes

• Fixed a bug where scrubbing certificate content would fail as a result of us implicitly using the re.I flag for plugin-based postprocessing.

Plugin Changes

• New plugins: cxl, vault
• Fixed a bug where if sos was running inside a container, and a plugin attempted to collect a symlink to a host file, that the plugin would instead capture the container's version of that file.
• Fixed a bug where redundant attempts to create a plugin's sos_commands/ subdirectory would result in an exception.
• The apache plugin will now collect all /etc/httpd/conf/*.conf files by default.
• The ipa plugin will now collect SID and EPN logs.
• The grub2 plugin will now collect user-created config files.
• Spaces are now handled properly when scrubbing passwords within the sssd plugin.
• The docker plugin will now function for Debian based systems.

Collect Changes

• The ocp cluster profile will now more gracefully handle timeouts when trying to remove the temporary project after collections complete. Users are now also notified that if this occurs, they will need to manually delete the temporary project.
• Report execution errors handled within SosNode are now more consistently printed to console.

Cleaner Changes

• Refined MAC address parsing, so we should have more complete coverage of MAC address obfuscation
• The process of preparing cleaner mappings has been abstracted out into new Prepper objects. These preppers allow more flexible ways to extract relevant items for preparing mappings and parsers before the bulk obfuscation work begins. This is the first step in moving to a more efficient concurrency design, and subsequent changes and refinements are expected over the next few releases.

sos-4.5.4

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.5.4. This release focused on expanding support in policies for more and multiple package managers. The next release is slated for June 22.

Policies

• Added a snap package manager abstraction so that policies and plugins may inspect package installations using the snap manager.
• Added a MultiPackagerManager that allows policies to leverage multiple package managers on the same system - e.g. a system using both dpkg and snaps.
• The Ubuntu policy will now use both the dpkg and snap package managers, so plugins will be enabled based on the installation of a package in either dpkg or snap format.
• The dpkg package manager will now properly remove recently-uninstalled packages from the returned package list.
• The Mariner policy has been renamed to Azure Linux to match the new upstream naming.

Report Changes

• Plugins will now collect truncated strings into the report before collecting command output.

Plugin Changes

• New plugins: rhc, microk8s
• The alternatives plugin now supports Ubuntu installations.
• The dnf plugin has removed the superflous use of --assumeno from commands that cannot generate the need for user input. Command file names will change accordingly.
• The apport plugin will now collect /var/crash if --all-logs is used.
• The lxd plugin will now collect logs and configuration files from locations based on snap installations as well.
• The apt plugin will now obfuscate credentials in list files.
• The kernel plugin will now collect /var/lib/systemd/pstore.
• The powerpc plugin will now collect RMC status logs and invscout logs.
• The foreman plugin will now collect qpid-stat output.
• The landscape plugin now collects more logs.

Collect Changes

• Fixed a bug that would prevent the juju cluster from collections when a subbordinate's parent or its units were missing.
• Fixed a bug where collect could end up skipping the local node if that node was part of the cluster but was not forcibly removed via strict_node_list (primarily pacemaker clusters).

• Fixed an issue in the ubuntu policy that could prevent archive uploads when users specified a manual --upload-url
