1511022 - verbose logging for signature generation

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Socorro :: Signature, task, P2)

Description

[Will Kahn-Greene [:willkg] ET needinfo? me]

Signature generation is complicated. In cases where it produces a signature that's unhelpful, it really helps to know the minutia of what happened during signature generation. Was there a sentinel? Was it looking at the right thread? Which frames did it skip? And so on.

This bug covers reworking signature generation so that it logs what it did to build a signature and spits out that information in "socorro-cmd signature" in some --verbose mode.

I'd like to have this. It's helpful on a regular basis. Making it a P2.

bug 1511022: rework signature generation to use a Result instance

This reworks signature generation to use a Result instance that gets passed
from rule to rule. The Result class has some helper methods for manipulating
the signature and keeping track of what happened during generation. This
will make it easier to debug.

fix bug 1511022: add debug logging for signature generation

This adds debug logging for signature generation specifically around
irrelevant, prefix, and sentinal related events. This will make it
a lot easier to see how changes to the siglists files affect things.
