Please propose a change upstream if you have a better idea to sort it (https://github.com/sosreport/sos/)
I did the last big reorg of the plugin - https://github.com/sosreport/sos/commit/292599ac323f66c5086d8fc187815aac1e6a1204 (as an aside that also collects ls -alRh /var/log/ so you have a good idea which log files you'd need to collect next) Basically I didn't see a good reason to start capturing the compressed logs (after .2 and higher are usually compressed), which doesn't do well with how we truncate the logs after that to the filesize limit. It also could really increase the size of collected sosreports. To be clear the size limit applies to individual collected files, NOT the entire archive. ** Changed in: sosreport (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692695 Title: sosreport doesn't collect all logs without --all-logs, regardless of log size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sosreport/+bug/1692695/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
