[pmg-devel] [PATCH pmg-api 0/3] add pmg-system-report

[Stoiko Ivanov]

Given the good experiences we have with `pvereport` in our Enterprise Support
(it gives us a standartized initial information set, which quite often contains
everything needed to troubleshoot a given case), `pmg-system-report` should
provide the same comfort for PMG.

The name was chosen, because `pmgreport` is already taken, and all other
abbreviations I thought of also might cause confusion (pmgsr, pmgstatus,
pmginfo). However I'd be very glad about other suggestions.

Both PMG::Report and bin/pmg-system-report were intially taken from pvereport
(in the pve-manager repo) and adapted in the following way:
* change of imports and command-invocations from pve to pmg
  (e.g. pmgsubscription get)
* dropping information not available on pmg (pvesm, qm, pct, pve-firewall)
* dropping information which I considered less useful:
  * lscpu
  * bios
  * zfs, lvm, multipath information (the generic findmnt, lsblk, fstab info
    should be enough).
* adding pmg specific information:
  * /etc/resolv.conf
  * DNS-resolution through SpamAssassin
  * pmgconfig dump
  * pmgdb dump (this should give us the complete ruleset)

The second patch adds the priority and active information to `pmgdb dump` in
order to get the full picture. I glanced through our sources (pmg-api, pmg-gui,
pmg-docs, pmg-log-tracker) for users of `pmgdb dump`, and did not see anything,
which might break through the change of output. However I might have missed
something and would be glad for feedback from more experienced eyes.
