+.SH NAME
+KerneloopsScanner plugin for abrt(8)
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.P
+.I 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 \fIKerneloopsScanner\fP
+plugin for \fIabrt\fP.
+.P
+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.
+.P
+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.
+.SH INVOCATION
+The plugin is invoked in the \fIabrt.conf\fP configuration file.
+No parameters are necessary.
+.SH CONFIGURATION
+The \fIKerneloopsScanner.conf\fP configuration file contains one entry:
+.SS SysLogFile
+The file to scan. The default is
+.br
+SysLogFile = /var/log/messages
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.P
+This is a snippet from the \fIabrt.conf\fP configuration file.
+Every 10 seconds look if there were any kernel crashes:
+.P
+[common]
+.br
+ActionsAndReporters = Kerneloops, KerneloopsScanner
+.br
+[cron]
+.br
+10 = KerneloopsScanner
