Tests Checks
============

In some cases we want to run additional checks while running a
test. A nice example is a check for unexpected SELinux AVCs
produced during the test, this can point to additional issues
the user can run into. Another useful checks would be kernel
panic detection, core dump collection or collection of system
logs.

See the :ref:`/spec/tests/check` key for specification and more
examples. Below, you will find test check plugins shipped with
tmt.


.. _spec/test-checks/avc:

avc
^^^

Check for SELinux AVC denials raised during the test.

The check collects SELinux AVC denials from the audit log,
gathers details about them, and together with versions of
the ``selinux-policy`` and related packages stores them in
a file after the test.

.. code-block:: yaml

    check:
      - name: avc

.. versionadded:: 1.28

**Configuration**


enabled: ``true | false``
    Whether the check is enabled or not.


.. _spec/test-checks/dmesg:

dmesg
^^^^^

Save the content of kernel ring buffer (aka "console") into a file.

The check saves one file before the test, and then again
when test finishes.

.. code-block:: yaml

    check:
      - name: dmesg

.. versionadded:: 1.28

**Configuration**


enabled: ``true | false``
    Whether the check is enabled or not.
