[Files]

\//etc/configsnap/additional.conf
  Optional configuration file to define additional command output and files to collect.

[Custom Collection]

Commands are all run as root, so the custom collection configuration file must be owned by root and not read or writable by other users. The file format is:

\ [section] - The name of the output file, and the status message for this collection
 Type - "command", to run a command, or "file" to save a file
 Command - When Type = command, the fully qualified command to run, e.g. /bin/ss -tanp
 File - The fully qualified path to a file to save, e.g. /etc/debconf.conf

For "command", there is the following additional optional setting:
 Sort - save output sorted (default: False)

For either "command" or "file", the are the follow additional optional settings:
 Failok - True/False - Whether to report problems running the command or copying the file (default: False)
 Compare - True/False - Whether to compare output when phase contains post or rollback (default: False)

Examples:

\ [psspecial]
 Type: command
 Command: /bin/ps -aux
 Compare: True

\ [debconf.conf]
 Type: file
 File: /etc/debconf.conf
 Failok: True

These would record two files per run, psspecial.phase and debconf.conf.phase.
