report_event.conf(5)
====================
NAME
----
report_event.conf - configuration file for libreport.
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This configuration file specifies which programs should be run
when the specified event occurs in problem directory lifetime.
It consists of directives and rules.
Directives start with a reserved word. Currently, there is
only one directive, "include".
include 'FILE'::
This directive causes files which match FILE to be read
and parsed as if they are inserted textually where this directive
occurs.
FILE can use shell pattern metacharacters (*,?,etc) to specify
multiple files. Relative paths are interpreted relative to current
file.
Rule starts with a line with non-space leading character.
All subsequent lines which start with space or tab form one rule.
Note that separating newline is retained.
Rules may be commented out with #. One # is sufficient to comment out
even a multi-line rule (no need to comment out every line).
Rules specify which programs to run on the problem directory.
Each rule may have conditions to be checked before the program is run.
Conditions have form VAR=VAL or VAL~=REGEX, where VAR is either
word "EVENT" or a name of problem directory element to be checked
(for example, "executable", "package", hostname" etc).
If all conditions match, the remaining part of the rule
(the "program" part) is run in the shell.
All shell language constructs are valid.
All stdout and stderr output is captured and passed to ABRT
and possibly to ABRT's frontends and shown to the user.
If the program terminates with nonzero exit code,
the event processing is considered unsuccessful and is stopped.
Last captured output line, if any, is considered to be
the error message indicating the reason of the failure,
and may be used by abrt as such.
If the program terminates successfully, next rule is read
and processed. This process is repeated until the end of this file.
Event XML configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These configuration files provides event meta data.
Each file has XML formatting with the following DTD:
-------------
<!ELEMENT event (name+,description+,requires-items?,exclude-items-by-default?,exclude-items-always?,exclude-binary-items?,include-items-by-default?,minimal-rating?,gui-review-elements?,options?)>

-------------
name::
User visible name of event
description::
User visible description
exclude-items-by-default::
Comma separated names of excluded problem elements. User can include any
of these elements if he wishes it.
include-items-by-default::
Comma separated names of included problem elements. User can exclude any
of these elements if he wishes it.
exclude-items-always::
Comma separated names of included problem elements. User cannot include
any of these elements.
exclude-binary-items::
If "yes" then all binary problem elements are excluded. User can include
them if he wishes it.
minimal-rating::
Minimal backtrace rating required for executing the event. Backtrace rating
is a measure of backtrace usability and understandability. With an
increasing number of unresolved frames the backtrace rating gets lower
values.
gui-review-elements::
If "yes", user must explicitly approve that all included problem elements
can be published. If "no", the event is executed automatically. If not
provided, "yes" is expected.
support-restricted-access::
If "yes", the UI tools will offer the users to enter the new report with
restricted access. If "no", the UI tools will never offer the users to
enter the report with restricted access. "no" is the default value. The
element should have one argument named 'optionname' which defines name of
an option holding configuration of the restricted access feature. The
option must of 'bool' type.
advanced-options::
List of options which are hidden in the default view.
label::
Event option label
note-html::
Event option HTML formatted description
allow-empty::
Determines if user can leave the option empty
default-value::
A value which is used by default
option:name::
Name of exported environment variable name. libreport tools communicate
through Environment Variables.
requires-details::
If "yes", the UI tools will offer the users to fill "comment", "reproducer" and
"reproducible" during a reporting. If "no", only "comment" will be offered
to fill.
