xsos

The goal of xsos is to make it easy to instantaneously gather information about a system together in an easy-to-read-summary, whether that system is the localhost on which xsos is being run or a system for which you have an unpacked sosreport. There is tons of useful amazing instructive data available to normal users (not to mention root) on a Linux system, but by design, this information is spread out across myriad files. Some of it even requires commands to parse through. xsos will attempt to make it easy, parsing and calculating and formatting data from dozens of files (and commands) to give you a detailed overview about a system, or -- if requested -- xsos will only parse one file (e.g. with --mem or --cpu) or output from one command (e.g. with --ip or --ps). New features are being added all the time -- see the tracker to have a look at some of the things that are already in line to be worked on.

This snap is built using the latest code from upstream.

Install

sudo snap install xsos

If you are running xsos against a remote/mounted filesystem you will need to do:

sudo snap connect xsos:removable-media

If you don't do this, the snap will not be able to access any data due to that fact that it is a strictly confined [1] snap.

Usage

xsos /path/to/sosreport

xsos -a /path/to/sosreport

See xsos -h for other usage options.
