System Configuration Analysis

Diagnose system issues by analyzing sosreport archives to extract OS details, installed packages, service status, and security policies. The Skill parses configuration files, kernel parameters, and systemd data to identify root causes of service failures, misconfigurations, and security problems across the system.

Yes. Analyze systemd service failures by examining service status data, configuration files, and system state captured in sosreport. The Skill identifies root causes like port conflicts, missing dependencies, or misconfigured SELinux policies that prevent services from starting.

Extract OS release info, kernel version, uptime, installed RPM/DEB packages, systemd service status, SELinux/AppArmor policies, sysctl parameters, and resource limits. The Skill parses /etc, /proc, and systemctl output to build a comprehensive diagnostic view of system configuration.

SELinux policy analysis reveals security constraint violations that block services or applications. The Skill evaluates policy details and enforced rules from sosreport to diagnose why processes fail due to permission denials or policy misconfigurations.

Extract the sosreport archive first. The Skill analyzes the sosreport directory structure containing organized system data files, configuration snapshots, and systemctl output needed to perform comprehensive diagnostic analysis.

Sosreport analysis examines a point-in-time system snapshot captured in an archive, enabling diagnosis without live system access and allowing offline troubleshooting. This approach preserves historical state and is ideal for remote systems or post-incident analysis.
