I have a question about configuration of abrt that is not apparent (at least to me) from the reading the documentation. The question is concerning how to handle dumps from third party applications (developed by Stratus).

What I’m trying to do is configure abrt to not delete crashes of these applications, but also to not allow the user to send these dumps off to Redhat (which would not be appropriate).

For the first part of this: initially, I was getting complaints about “invalid key” after an application crash had occurred (abrt would automatically then delete the dump). I can fix this either by adding

our key to “gpg_keys” or by changing “OpenGPGCheck = no” in /etc/abrt/abrt-action-save-package-data.conf. I have chosen to do the latter.

Now, I can get the dumps to not be deleted.

However, I’m concerned that the user can send these dumps to Redhat through the abrt-gui. Is there a way (configuration settings, etc) to prevent certain dumps from being sent to Redhat?

The documentation does not cover if abrt can be configured to do this. Hopefully it can.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
