🎀 REPORT_LOGGER.CONF — the libreport config file, explained by your resident Unix girlie 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to report_logger.conf(5), part of the LIBREPORT MANUAL. This is the glow-up doc for the config file that tells libreport which work flow definitions get to show up when a problem needs analyzing — and then export all that problem data info out to a text file. 💅

✨ NAME ✨

report_logger.conf — the configuration file for libreport. that's it. that's the name. iconic, brief, main character energy. 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the vibe: this config file is literally the guest list. it specifies which of the work flow definitions are applicable to analyzing problems and exporting the problem data information to a text file. 📋✨

All the applicable work flows get presented to users in the User Interface as possibilities for processing of any problems. like, the UI shows your user all the options that made the cut. and a particular work flow only becomes applicable if its conditions are satisfied — no conditions met, no invite to the party. 🙅‍♀️

This configuration file consists of condition lines. each condition line has to start with EVENT=workflow_NAME — where workflow_ is a constant prefix and workflow_NAME is the base name of the path to the reporting work flow configuration file. lowkey simple, highkey important. 🫶

The rest of the condition line has the form VAR=VAL, VAR!=VAL or VAL~=REGEX, where VAR is a name of problem directory element to be checked (for example, "executable", "package", "hostname" etc). and a condition may consist of as many element checks as it is necessary — pile 'em on, queen. 🧚

⚠️ important one, ngl: all condition lines in this configuration file are commented out by default. therefore all applicable work flows from this file are not presented to users in the User Interface. if you wanna enable this extension, uncomment all condition lines in this configuration file. periodt.

💖 EXAMPLES 💖

here's a condition line, fresh out the group chat:

EVENT=workflow_LoggerCCpp analyzer=CCpp

The condition line above expects existence of /usr/share/libreport/workflows/workflow_LoggerCCpp.xml. that's the whole assignment — that file's gotta be there. 💀✨
