Overview

hotsos is a framework for software-defined analysis. It provides a high-level language (see README) for defining checks and analysis of hosts and some common applications including:

• Openstack
• Kubernetes
• Ceph
• OpenvSwitch
• Juju
• MAAS
• and more

There are a number of output options and formats. The default output is a yaml summary containing information specific to each application (plugin) type including issues and known bugs detected. Hotsos can be run against a host or sosreport.

The code has the following structure:

• core library code
• yaml-defined checks (defs)
• plugin code
• test code

Usage
