1 About the sos Command

The sos command collects information about a system such as hardware configuration, software configuration, and operational state. You can also use the sos report command to enable diagnostics and analytical functions on the current system.

The generated report is useful in cases where you're being helped by Oracle Support in troubleshooting a problem in the system. The support representative can use the report to obtain an exact picture of the system, its resources, and all the applications and processes that exist in the system, and all other data that can help find the causes of the issues you're experiencing.

The sos utility requires the installation of the sos package. To install the package, type:

sudo dnf install sos
