Crash Manager
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The **Crash Manager** is a service and interface for managing crash
|
|
data within the Gecko application.
|
|
|
|
From JavaScript, the service can be accessed via::
|
|
|
|
let crashManager = Services.crashmanager;
|
|
|
|
That will give you an instance of ``CrashManager`` from ``CrashManager.sys.mjs``.
|
|
From there, you can access and manipulate crash data.
|
|
|
|
The crash manager stores statistical information about crashes as well as
|
|
detailed information for both browser and content crashes. The crash manager
|
|
automatically detects new browser crashes at startup by scanning for
|
|
:ref:`Crash Events`. Content process crash information on the other hand is
|
|
provided externally.
|
|
|
|
Crash Pings
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
The Crash Manager is responsible for sending crash pings when a crash occurs
|
|
or when a crash event is found. Crash pings are sent using
|
|
`Telemetry pings <../../telemetry/data/crash-ping.html>`__.
|
|
|
|
Glean
|
|
-----
|
|
Crash pings have been migrated to use `Glean pings <../../glean/index.html>`__, however
|
|
the Telemetry pings will still be sent until we are confident that the Glean
|
|
implementation is robust. The Glean `crash` ping can be found
|
|
`here <https://dictionary.telemetry.mozilla.org/apps/firefox_desktop/pings/crash>`__.
|
|
|
|
See `bug 1784069 <https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1784069>`_ for details.
