Configuration options

The abrt module supports all configuration options in the following files:

• abrt.conf

  class { 'abrt':
    active => true,
    maxcrashreportssize => '1000',
    dumplocation => '/var/spool/abrt',
    deleteuploaded => 'no',

    blacklistedpaths => ['/usr/share/doc/*', '*/example*', '/usr/bin/nspluginviewer', '/usr/lib/xulrunner-*/plugin-container'],
    processunpackaged => 'no',
  }
