NAME

----

abrt.conf - Configuration file for abrt.

DESCRIPTION

-----------

'abrt' is a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it

collects the problem data and takes action according to its configuration. This

document describes abrt's configuration file.

The configuration file consists of items in the format "Option = Value".

A description of each item follows:

DumpLocation = 'directory'::

   The directory where should 'abrt' store coredumps and all files which are

   needed for reporting. The default is /var/spool/abrt.

MaxCrashReportsSize = 'number'::

   The maximum disk space (specified in megabytes) that 'abrt'

   will use for all the crash dumps. Specify a value here to ensure

   that the crash dumps will not fill all available storage space.

   The default is 1000.

WatchCrashdumpArchiveDir = 'directory'::

   The daemon will watch this directory and call 'abrt-handle-upload' on files

   which appear there. This is used to auto-unpack crashdump tarballs uploaded

   via ftp, scp, etc. The directory must exist and be writable for 'abrt'.

   There is no default.

DeleteUploaded = 'yes/no'::

   The daemon will delete an uploaded crashdump archive after an atempt to

   unpack it. An archive will be delete whether unpacking finishes successfully

   or not.

   The default value is 'no'.

DebugLevel = '0-100'::

   Allows ABRT tools to detect problems in ABRT itself. By increasing the value

   you can force ABRT to detect, process and report problems in ABRT. You have

   to bare in mind that ABRT might fall into an infinite loop when handling

   problems caused by itself.

   The default is 0 (non debug mode).

AutoreportingEvent = 'event'::

   A name of event which is run automatically after problem's detection. The

   event should perform some fast analysis and exit with 70 if the

   problem is known.

   Default is report_uReport.

AutoreportingEnabled = 'yes/no'::

   Enables automatic running of the event configured in AutoreportingEvent option.

ShortenedReporting = 'yes/no'::

   Enables shortened GUI reporting where the reporting is interrupted after

   AutoreportingEvent is done.

   Default is Yes if application is running in GNOME desktop session; otherwise

   No.

ExploreChroots = 'true/false'::

   Enables various features exploring process's root directories if they differ

   from the default root directory. The folowing list includes examples of

   enabled features:

     * query the rpm database in the process's root directory

     * save files like /etc/os-release from the process's root directory

   Default is false.
