Description Douglas Silas 2011-01-25 23:46:03 UTC 
This RFE supersedes bug 548254 by presenting a concrete proposal for error-collecting documentation in the RHEL6 Deployment Guide.

CURRENT STATUS

Kernel error collection tools include:

    kdump - [complete]
    netdump - [undocumented]
    diskdump - [undocumented]
    kerneloops - [reporting of is undocumented]

Note: the crash package (also undocumented) utilizes kdump, netdump and diskdump to collect data for analysis.

User-space error collection tools include:

    ABRT - [complete; implementation and documentation ongoing]
    SOS Report - [undocumented]

Related monitoring tools include:

    new kernel 'perf' infrastructure - [undocumented; higher priority than OProfile]
    OProfile - [To be completed for 6.2/3]

The basic usage of the crash utility is actually covered in The kdump Crash Recovery Service chapter (see Analyzing the Core Dump). Nevertheless, if we decide to document netdump and/or diskdump, this section will need to be reviewed as well.
