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 avail-
	      able plugin options can be obtained from the output of  --list-
	      plugins.	 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.
