Description

ALP will not support the deprecated scplugin.rc framework. This commit, then, migrates our support script to work with supportconfig.rc.

This patch has been originally contributed by Jason Record on the linked Bugzilla entry.

Fixes bsc#1216389

How to demo

NOTE: I have tested the following on a SLES15 SP4 machine. It would be extra dope if you could test it on other environments such as SLES12 LTSS.

The easiest route is to either install RMT on a machine, or re-use an existing installation. Thus, before any of this, ensure that rmt-server and supportutils are installed on your system. Then just copy the support/rmt file from this PR into /usr/lib/supportconfig/plugins and give it executable rights (as root):

# cp <path>/support/rmt /usr/lib/supportconfig/plugins/
# chmod +x /usr/lib/supportconfig/plugins/rmt

To ensure that the installation works, run supportconfig like so:

# supportconfig -F

There should be prmt (the 'p' is just a prefix for 'plugin'). You could try running just this plugin:

# supportconfig -i prmt

On the generated tarball, make sure that there is a file named output-rmt.txt with the results from this run.

Note that stuff like passwords have been blanked out by supportconfig.rc, this is to be expected. As a reference, this is the configuration as shown from my machine:

database:
  host: localhost
  database: rmt
  username: rmt
  password: *REMOVED BY SUPPORTCONFIG*
  adapter: mysql2
  encoding: utf8
  timeout: 5000
  pool: 5
