Description
The info supportconfig collects is usually not sufficient to resolve issues in the installer or hardware detection area (hwinfo).
This typically leads to a back-and-forth with customers until the necessary data has been provided. This process can by trying for both sides and is easily avoided.
For this reason I would suggest to include these three items in the default supportconfig output:
- the tar file
save_y2logscreates - the tar file
getsysinfocreates - the log file of
hwinfo --all --log=xxx.log
Note that fragments of the above are already provided but for efficient debugging it is also vital that information is provided in a way developers expect and can readily use.

Research direction
Start by tracing how supportconfig assembles its default output and how it invokes or packages save_y2logs and getsysinfo. Review the existing handling of hwinfo data, then determine how to include the three requested artifacts in a form developers can use. Done means the default output contains those tar files and the hwinfo --all log without requiring follow-up collection.
