[CentOS] How to debug a crash.. Looks like an abrt file.
I have to say the CentOS machines I have used so far seem to work well, so I was surprised the other day when an HP DL580G5 I had running CentOS 6.4 x86_64 the other day for some VM's under KVM/QEMU went belly up. Sadly the sucker was a remote box, so I wasn't just sitting in front of the console, but it looks like it left some files in /var/spool/abrt/oops-2013-11-01-14:00:22-8047-1 on the machine. The kernel on the box says it's 2.6.32-358.23.2.el6.x86_64 I have never used abrt, and looking for a man page on abrt didn't seem to come up with anything revealing that was useful. Needless to say having a box got down hard isn't really a good thing, so I am wondering if has any pointers or suggestions on how I can figure out what caused this crash, and if there is any way to correct this so it doesn't just keep happening. Bad enough to have a server crash, even worse when it takes along a bunch of working VM's with it.. --- Howard Leadmon
