SOSCleaner helps users in environments that have data export restrictions clean up an sosreport so it can be safely uploaded to a support group for analysis. IT IS NOT ALL that should be done for this process, but it does help with the most common and repetitive items.

• Scrubs Binary Files - Binary Files cannot easily be visually scanned. They are left out of a 'cleaned' sosreport
• IP Address Obfuscation - IPv4 addresses in the sosreport are obfuscated consistently throughout all files. For example, if 192.168.100.5 is obfuscated to 10.0.0.68, it will appear as 10.0.0.68 in all files within the sosreport. This means that troubleshooting can still take place.
• Hostname Obfuscation - Hostnames are obfuscated consistently troughout all files, much like the IP Address functionality. Based on the system's hostname, if the hostname for the system in question is an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name), all hostnames on that domain are obfuscated. If the hostname is NOT an FQDN, then all examples of that hostname itself are obfuscated.
• Multiple Domains - multiple domains can by analyzed by using the -d flag 1 or more times
• Additional Files - additional files can be added for analysis by using the -f flag 1 or more times
• Only Scan Files - You can also supply one or more files using the -f flag, and supply no sosreport at all. These files will be analyzed and archived together.

• As a Python Module

from SOSCleaner import SOSCleaner
x = SOSCleaner('path/to/sosreport/directory')
x.clean_report()

• If intalling the RPM and/or using the executable

$ /usr/bin/soscleaner --help
Usage: soscleaner [-ldfkqr] /path/to/sosreport

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -l LOGLEVEL, --log_level=LOGLEVEL
                        The Desired Log Level (default = INFO) Options are
                        DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR
  -d DOMAIN, --domain=DOMAIN
                        additional domain to obfuscate (optional). use a flag
                        for each additional domain
  -f FILES, --file=FILES
                        addtional files to be analyzed in addition to or in
                        exception of sosreport
  -q, --quiet           disable output to STDOUT
  -r DIRECTORY, --report_dir=DIRECTORY
                        optional directory to store artifacts. default is /tmp
  -k KEYWORDS, --keywords=KEYWORDS
                        optional text file to be obfuscated. format is one
                        word per line. warning: long lists may slow down
                        soscleaner.

The data is available from within the Python class, and as an option passed into the executable script.

• If accessing the Python class directly

from soscleaner import SOSCleaner
x = SOSCleaner()
x.clean_report('/path/to/sosreport')

x.ip_db
{'192.168.1.4':'10.10.10.123', ...}

x.hn_db
{'server1.myserverfarm.com':'host0.example.com'}

• If using the command-line application

# soscleaner ~/sosreport.tar.gz
