Description
This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT feature using the Logger reporting plugin.
How to test
- Ensure you have the plugin installed with the command
su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-logger'
- Edit
/etc/abrt/abrt_event.conf
and be sure you have there e.g. EVENT=report_Logger abrt-action-print -o "${Log_File:-/var/log/abrt.log}" - If changed the file, restart ABRT with the command
su -c 'service abrtd restart'
- Confirm that the abrtd and abrt-applet processes are both running
- Kill a running process with the command
kill -SIGSEGV (pid)
. It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package - Click on the panel applet to start abrt-gui
- Select the entry matching the recently crashed application, then click on Open, select Logger plugin.
- Finish the wizard and save the report to predefined log file (usually
/var/log/abrt.log
).
Expected Results
- After you finish the steps in wizard at the last screen you should see "The report was stored to /var/log/abrt.log"
- Open the log file and see if your crash is in it.
