sos-4.12.0

The sos team is pleased to announce the release of sos-4.12.0. This marks our second of two minor version releases in 2026.

Report Changes

• A new --pack-dir option has been added which will tar user-specified directories before building the final archive.
• runas will now work for rootless containerized collections.
• Policy loading has been improved, and in the case a host matches multiple policies the most specific match should now apply.

Plugin Changes

• New plugins: ceph_nvmeof, jvm
• The podman plugin has a new allusers option to collect information for non-root users that have containers running.
• The nvidia plugin now collects sysfs data.
• The foreman-installer plugin will now scrub secrets from CLI arg dumps.
• The foremanctl plugin now works for containerized deployments.
• The legacy pulp plugin has been removed.
• The number of sysfs cpu subdirs collected by the processor plugin is now controlled by a new max_cpu_dirs plugin option (default: 64).

Cleaner Changes

• Preppers may now source the audit log for entries. The hostname prepper has enabled this.
• Obfuscation of domains in SSD configs has been improved.

Collect Changes

• Cluster option values may now contain the = sign, for instance when passing kubernetes labels.

Upload Changes

• sos will now store refresh tokens for upload auth (if the target uses/provides one) when one is used. The refresh token will be stoed in ~/.sos-oidc-token.json.
