DESCRIPTION
       sosreport generates a compressed tarball of debugging information for the system it is run on that can be sent to techni-
       cal 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 available 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.

       --upload FTP_SERVER
              Upload the report to Red Hat (use exclusively if advised from a Red Hat support representative).

       -v, --verbose
              Increase the verbosity of the output as sosreport is running. Multiple -v mean more verbosity.

       --ticket-number NUMBER
              Define a unique number for archive
