NAME
       KerneloopsScanner plugin for abrt(8)

DESCRIPTION
       abrt  is  a daemon that watches for application crashes. When a crash occurs, it collects the crash data and takes action
       according to its configuration. This manual page describes the KerneloopsScanner plugin for abrt.

       This plugin reads the system log file (default /var/log/messages) and stores the kernel  oops  crashes,  which  were  not
       already reported, to abrt's debug dump directory.

       To  distinguish  between  new  crashes  and crashes that were already reported, the plugin makes its own entry in the log
       file, which acts as a separator.

INVOCATION
       The plugin is invoked in the abrt.conf configuration file.  No parameters are necessary.

CONFIGURATION
       The KerneloopsScanner.conf configuration file contains one entry:

   SysLogFile
       The file to scan. The default is
       SysLogFile = /var/log/messages

EXAMPLES
       This is a snippet from the abrt.conf configuration file.  Every 10 seconds look if there were any kernel crashes:

       [common]
       ActionsAndReporters = Kerneloops, KerneloopsScanner
       [cron]
       10 = KerneloopsScanner
