Description Jiri Moskovcak 2011-01-24 14:22:19 UTC
Description of problem:
There is a missing information of how to configure ABRT to do automatic reporting, please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671359
for more information

The text draft:

There is a list of reporters in the config file /etc/abrt/abrt.conf like this:

# What actions or reporters to run on each crash type
#
[ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
Kerneloops = RHTSupport, Logger
CCpp = RHTSupport, Logger
RHTSupport and Logger reporters will be run.

so to use logger for autoreporting you need to change it to: 

[ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
Kerneloops = Logger
CCpp = Logger
Python = Logger

and then in:

/etc/abrt/plugins/CCpp.conf
/etc/abrt/plugins/Kerneloops.conf
/etc/abrt/plugins/Python.conf

add line a line:

AutoReportUIDs = uids

-> uids are actually usernames (not UIDs) specifying the user for whom you
want to report crashes automatically -> e.g: if you're running httpd it runs
under user apache and you want to automatically report the crashes, then you
should add:

 AutoReportUIDs = apache

you can specify more the one user by comma separated list:

 AutoReportUIDs = apache, user1, user2
