		 [-n|--skip-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-e|--enable-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-o|--only-plugins plugin-names]
		 [-a|--alloptions] [-v|--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

       sosreport  generates  a compressed tar archive of diagnostic information from the running system. The archive may be stored locally or cen-
       trally for recording or tracking purposes or may be sent to technical support  representatives,	developers  or	system	administrators	to
       assist with technical fault-finding and debugging.

       Sos  is	modular  in  design and is able to collect data from a wide range of subsystems and packages that may be installed. An XML or HTML
       report summarizing the collected information is optionally generated and stored within the archive.

OPTIONS

       -l, --list-plugins
	      List all available plugins and their options. Plug-ins that would not be enabled by the current configuration are listed separately.

       -n, --skip-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Disable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.

       -e, --enable-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Enable the specified plugin(s). Multiple plug-ins may be specified by repeating the option or as a comma-separated list.

       -o, --only-plugins PLUGNAME[,PLUGNAME]
	      Enable the specified plugin(s) only (all other plugins should be disabled). Multiple plugins  may  be  specified	by  repeating  the
	      option or as a comma-separated list.

       -k PLUGNAME.PLUGOPT[=VALUE]
	      Specify plug-in options. The option PLUGOPT is enabled, or set to the specified value in the plug-in PLUGNAME.

       -a, --alloptions
	      Set all boolean options to True for all enabled plug-ins.

       -v, --verbose
	      Increase logging verbosity. May be specified multiple times to enable additional debugging messages.

       -q, --quiet
	      Only log fatal errors to stderr.

       --report
	      Enable HTML/XML report writing.

       --config-file CONFIG
	      Specify alternate configuration file.

       --tmp-dir DIRECTORY
	      Specify alternate temporary directory to copy data as well as the compressed report.

       --batch
	      Generate archive without prompting for interactive input.

       --name NAME
	      Specify a name to be used for the archive.

       --ticket-number NUMBER
	      Specify a ticket number to be used for archive

       --build
	      Do not archive copied data. Causes sosreport to leave an uncompressed archive as a temporary file or directory tree.

       --debug
	      Enable interactive debugging using the python debugger. Exceptions in sos or plug-in code will cause a trap to the pdb shell.

       --profile
	      Enable profiler logging.

       --help Display usage message.

NAME

       audispd - an event multiplexor

SYNOPSIS

       audispd

DESCRIPTION

       audispd	is an audit event multiplexor. It has to be started by the audit daemon in order to get events. It takes audit events and distrib-
       utes them to child programs that want to analyze events in realtime. When the audit daemon receives a SIGTERM or  SIGHUP,  it  passes  that
       signal to the dispatcher, too. The dispatcher in turn passes those signals to its child processes.

       The  child programs install a configuration file in a plugins directory, /etc/audisp/plugins.d. Filenames are not allowed to have more than
       one '.' in the name or it will be treated as a backup copy and skipped. Options are given one per line with an equal sign between the  key-
       word and its value. The available options are as follows:

       active The options for this are yes or no.

       direction
	      The  option is dictated by the plugin.  In or out are the only choices. You cannot make a plugin operate in a way it wasn't designed
	      just by changing this option.This option is to give a clue to the event dispatcher about which direction events flow. NOTE:  inbound
	      events are not supported yet.

       path   This is the absolute path to the plugin executable. In the case of internal plugins, it would be the name of the plugin.

       type   This  tells the dispatcher how the plugin wants to be run. Choices are builtin and always.  Builtin should always be given for plug-
	      ins that are internal to the audit event dispatcher. These are af_unix and syslog. The option always should be given for most if not
	      all plugins. The default setting is always.

       args   This  allows you to pass arguments to the child program. Generally plugins do not take arguments and have their own config file that
	      instructs them how they should be configured. At the moment, there is a limit of 2 args.

       format The valid options for this are binary and string.  Binary passes the data exactly as the audit event dispatcher  gets  it  from  the
	      audit  daemon.  The  string  option  tells the dispatcher to completely change the event into a string suitable for parsing with the
	      audit parsing library. The default value is string.
