Description

This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT feature using the Logger plugin.

Ensure you have the plugin installed with the command su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-logger'
Edit /etc/abrt/abrt.conf and be sure the Logger plugin is enabled in the CCpp and Python sections. For example:
...

CCpp = Bugzilla, Logger

Python = Bugzilla, Logger

...
Restart ABRT with the command su -c 'service abrt restart'
Confirm that the abrtd and abrt-applet processes are both running
Kill a running process with the command kill -SIGSEGV (pid). It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package
Click on the panel applet to start abrt-gui
Select the entry matching the recently crashed application, then click on Report, select Logger plugin.
At the report window, click Send

After you click Send, a notification window should report: "Logger: Report was stored into: /var/log/abrt-logger"
The crash information should in fact be added to that file
