NAME

6       report_event.conf - configuration file for libreport.

DESCRIPTION

9       This configuration file specifies which programs should be run when the
10       specified event occurs in problem directory lifetime.
11
12       It consists of directives and rules.
13
14       Directives start with a reserved word. Currently, there is only one
15       directive, "include".
16
17       include FILE
18           This directive causes files which match FILE to be read and parsed
19           as if they are inserted textually where this directive occurs. FILE
20           can use shell pattern metacharacters (*,?,etc) to specify multiple
21           files. Relative paths are interpreted relative to current file.
22
23       Rule starts with a line with non-space leading character. All
24       subsequent lines which start with space or tab form one rule. Note that
25       separating newline is retained.
26
27       Rules may be commented out with #. One # is sufficient to comment out
28       even a multi-line rule (no need to comment out every line).
29
30       Rules specify which programs to run on the problem directory. Each rule
31       may have conditions to be checked before the program is run.
32
33       Conditions have form VAR=VAL or VAL~=REGEX, where VAR is either word
34       "EVENT" or a name of problem directory element to be checked (for
35       example, "executable", "package", hostname" etc).
36
37       If all conditions match, the remaining part of the rule (the "program"
38       part) is run in the shell. All shell language constructs are valid. All
39       stdout and stderr output is captured and passed to ABRT and possibly to
40       ABRT’s frontends and shown to the user.
41
42       If the program terminates with nonzero exit code, the event processing
43       is considered unsuccessful and is stopped. Last captured output line,
44       if any, is considered to be the error message indicating the reason of
45       the failure, and may be used by abrt as such.
46
47       If the program terminates successfully, next rule is read and
48       processed. This process is repeated until the end of this file.
49
50   Event XML configuration
51       These configuration files provides event meta data.
52
53       Each file has XML formatting with the following DTD:
54
55           <!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?)>

80
81       name
82           User visible name of event
83
84       description
85           User visible description
86
87       exclude-items-by-default
88           Comma separated names of excluded problem elements. User can
89           include any of these elements if he wishes it.
90
91       include-items-by-default
92           Comma separated names of included problem elements. User can
93           exclude any of these elements if he wishes it.
94
95       exclude-items-always
96           Comma separated names of included problem elements. User cannot
97           include any of these elements.
98
99       exclude-binary-items
100           If "yes" then all binary problem elements are excluded. User can
101           include them if he wishes it.
102
103       minimal-rating
104           Minimal backtrace rating required for executing the event.
105           Backtrace rating is a measure of backtrace usability and
106           understandability. With an increasing number of unresolved frames
107           the backtrace rating gets lower values.
108
109       gui-review-elements
110           If "yes", user must explicitly approve that all included problem
111           elements can be published. If "no", the event is executed
112           automatically. If not provided, "yes" is expected.
113
114       support-restricted-access
115           If "yes", the UI tools will offer the users to enter the new report
116           with restricted access. If "no", the UI tools will never offer the
117           users to enter the report with restricted access. "no" is the
118           default value. The element should have one argument named
119           optionname which defines name of an option holding configuration of
120           the restricted access feature. The option must of bool type.
121
122       advanced-options
123           List of options which are hidden in the default view.
124
125       label
126           Event option label
127
128       note-html
129           Event option HTML formatted description
130
131       allow-empty
132           Determines if user can leave the option empty
133
134       default-value
135           A value which is used by default
136
137       option:name
138           Name of exported environment variable name. libreport tools
139           communicate through Environment Variables.
