ABRT Demo WalkThru:

Requirements

  • ** Run on server with Desktop/GUI **
  • Minimum VM: 1vCPU x 2G mem
  • Optional: non-root user for GUI login

WalkThru:

  • Setup via abrt-setup.sh
    • Will need root or sudo to install packages
  • Launch GUI, under Applications -- Sundry
    • Preferences
      • Mailx -- config here or /etc/libreport/plugins/mailx.conf
      • Bugzilla -- for customer BZ instance not RH BZ
      • RH Customer Support -- creates ticket based on login info
      • Report Uploader -- Uploads a tarball with problem data to the chosen destination using the FTP or the SCP protocol
    • Configuration -- show hover over "help icon" on each option to get more info
  • Simulate bug crash
    • Use abrt-trigger.sh or syntax below
$ sleep 100 &
$ kill -s SEGV [pid from above cmd]
  • Show crash report in GUI
    • Look for pop-up (may not appear), click on Report button
  • Show CLI
    • To view all ABRT alerts
$ abrt-cli list
  • To view a specific report
    • --verbose, -v
    • --detailed, -d
$ abrt-cli info /dir/to/report
  • To enable auto reporting:
    • When enabled , the μReport, which is normally sent at the beginning of the crash-reporting process, is sent immediately after a crash is detected
    • This prevents duplicate support cases based on identical crashes
# abrt-auto-reporting enable
  • Cleanup via abrt-cleanup.sh
    • Optional if demo VM is disposable
