NAME

6       ReportUploader plugin for abrt(8)
7

DESCRIPTION

9       abrt  is  a  daemon which watches for application crashes. When a crash
10       occurs, it collects the crash data and performs some actions  according
11       to  the  configuration.  This  manual page describes the ReportUploader
12       plugin for abrt.
13
14       This plugin will send a report to an anonymous FTP site.  It's intended
15       for  use  in  cases where a ticketing system is associated with the FTP
16       site, but the ticketing system has no way to automatically  create  new
17       tickets,  or  add  to existing tickets.  Customer Name is put in config
18       file.  Ticket name (or number) is also  put  in  config  file.   If  no
19       ticket  name is configured, assume ticketing system should create a new
20       ticket.  This information is added to the report, the report is  copied
21       into  a compressed, optionally encrypted, tarball.  Then the tarball is
22       FTP'd to the upload site.  Then a status string  is  displayed  to  the
23       user  showing  the  name  of the file on the FTP site, it's MD5SUM, and
24       it's encryption key.  This information can be pasted into a  ticket  in
25       the ticketing system.
