.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
