The postmortem feature is about reporting after a crash. Most of my problems with Jami don’t occur from a crash (or perhaps the server part has crashed and I can’t see it) but more frequently of problematic situations. When it happens, I would like to be able to report the situation and have the tool capture the context where it occurred. And as these situations are frequently transient, it must be easy to start the capture. Presently, keeping Jami logs enabled just in case a problem occur creates more stress of filling the storage with unnecessary files and crashing the whole system than having the information to report a bug…
Example of situation where I would like to easily share what happens on my Jami instance:
- Duplicate accounts in the contacts list.
- Mysterious conversation with contact amarok (@sblin ?) who appears to having attempted to call me 7 times, and where the history of messages is not chronological…
- A swarm created with contact divadlo where I’m supposed to have accepted the conversation, but I can’t remember having done it.
- Being able to call a correspondent even if he is not online (green spot not present)…
- Unable to call a correspondent even if he is online (green spot present)…
- etc.
Should I open another ticket in Gitlab for a non-post-mortem reporting tool or amend the post-mortem one?
