+Element to install sosreport.
+
+sosreport is a tool that collects information about a system.
+
+The sos plugin for Octavia can gather information of installed packages, log
+and configuration files for Octavia controller components and amphora agent.
+The result is a generated report that can be used for troubleshooting. The
+plugin redacts confidential data such as passwords, certificates and secrets.
+
+At present sos only installs in Red Hat family images as the plugin does not
+support other distributions.
