Signature generation module

This Python module covers crash signature generation.

command line interface

This module defines a command line interface for signature generation. Given a crash id, it pulls the raw and processed data from Socorro -prod, generates a signature using the code in this module, and then tells you the original signature and the newly generated one.

This can be used for testing signature generation changes, regression testing, and astounding your friends at parties.

You need to run this inside a Socorro environment. For example, you could run this in the processor Docker container. You can start a container like that like this:

$ make shell

Once you're in your Socorro environment, you can run signature generation. You can pass it crash ids via the command line as arguments:

socorro-cmd signature CRASHID [CRASHID...]

It can also take crash ids from stdin.

Some examples:

• getting crash ids from the file crashids.txt:

  $ cat crashids.txt | socorro-cmd signature
  

• getting crash ids from another command:

  $ socorro-cmd fetch_crashids --num=10 | socorro-cmd signature
  

• spitting output in CSV format to more easily analyze results for generating signatures for multiple crashes:

  $ cat crashids.txt | socorro-cmd signature --format=csv
  

For more argument help, see:

$ socorro-cmd signature --help

library

This code is also available as library that's updated periodically by Will.
