REPORT_EVENT.CONF(5) LIBREPORT MANUAL REPORT_EVENT.CONF(5)NAMEreport_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.
