NAME
Logger plugin for abrt(8)
DESCRIPTION
abrt
is a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs,
it collects the crash data and takes action according to
its configuration. This manual page describes the Logger plugin
for abrt.
This plugin is used to log the crash to a file.
The log will contain all the file names as well as their
content. It also contains "duplicity check": the ID
of the crash, which is used to tell whether the same
crash has happened previously.
INVOCATION
The plugin is invoked in the abrt.conf configuration file.
No parameters are necessary.
CONFIGURATION
The Logger.conf configuration file contains
several entries in a format "Option = Value". The options are:
LogPath
The path to the log file.
AppendLogs
If set to "yes" (the default) Logger will append
the report to the file, otherwise it will overwrite the file (so
only the last crash will be stored).
EXAMPLES
This is a snippet from the abrt.conf configuration file.
Log all the C/C++ application crashes:
