Apport Crash Database/Requirements
From openSUSE
Keywords: crash analysis, apport, crashdb
Contents |
[edit]
Summary
This page lists the requirements for an Apport Crash Database implementation for openSUSE. The first version will have reduced functionality and only include a report collector and a report viewer.
Since Apport itself is written in Python, a possible implementation of the server in Python could leverage the report parsing code.
Links:
- Apport for Fedora branch includes a TurboGears based crashdb implementation
- Google Socorro is the crash database server for Google Breakpad
- kerneloops is a Linux kernel Oops collector
- KLive is a Linux Kernel Live Usage Monitor written in python
[edit]
Report Collector
The report is sent by the client side apport module. The server side generates and unique identifier that is included in the reply to the HTTP POST. The client side can use the UUID to generate an URL to track the report afterwards.
| Task | Status |
| Receive the report by HTTPS POST (on port 80) | |
| Basic validation of received report (very simple SPAM protection) | |
| Generate unique identifier (UUID) for the received report | |
| Detect duplicate reports before returning the unique identifier |
[edit]
Report Viewer
All received reports are presented in an overview page.
Examples are:
| Task | Status |
| Overview page of all reports received | |
| Detailed view of specific report | |
| Overview page per product/component/application | |
| Search in reports for free text |
