No way to specify the archive file name from the command line #83

Description

@hifzakh

It does not seem that there is any switch or configuration variable that can be used with insights-client to specify the archive file name in the command line. If a user wants to specify the archive file name or know it without extracting it from the insights-client output, he will not be able to do it.

[user@hostname ~]# insights-client --offline
Starting to collect Insights data for [hostname]
Archive saved at /var/tmp/5s57d784/insights-[hostname]-20190703203857.tar.gz

To address this issue, an additional switch like --archive can be added so that the insights-client command can also be executed as follows.

[user@hostname ~]# insights-client --offline --archive /var/tmp/test
Starting to collect Insights data for [hostname]
Archive saved at /var/tmp/test.tar.gz
