The goal of xsos is to make it easy to instantaneously gather information about a system together in an easy-to-read-summary, whether that system is the localhost on which xsos is being run or a system for which you have an unpacked sosreport. There is tons of useful amazing instructive data available to normal users (not to mention root) on a Linux system, but by design, this information is spread out across myriad files. Some of it even requires commands to parse through. xsos will attempt to make it easy, parsing and calculating and formatting data from dozens of files (and commands) to give you a detailed overview about a system, or -- if requested -- xsos will only parse one file (e.g. with --mem or --cpu) or output from one command (e.g. with --ip or --ps). New features are being added all the time -- see the tracker to have a look at some of the things that are already in line to be worked on.
This snap is built using the latest code from upstream.
Install
sudo snap install xsos
If you are running xsos against a remote/mounted filesystem you will need to do:
sudo snap connect xsos:removable-media
If you don't do this, the snap will not be able to access any data due to that fact that it is a strictly confined [1] snap.
Usage
xsos /path/to/sosreport
xsos -a /path/to/sosreport
See xsos -h for other usage options.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the Arch User Repository (AUR). The manual build process is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the prerequisites installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following:
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git
cd snapd
makepkg -si
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
If AppArmor is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install xsos, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install xsos
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
