Crash Report Content
This page covers the content found in crash reports in the Instabug dashboard.
Each crash report reaches your dashboard with all the information you need to resolve it.
Crash Overview
The crashes page in your dashboard lists all of your crash reports. When you select one, it opens the crash overview page, where you can find many details.
The graph above depicts the number of crashing sessions caused by this particular crash against the days of the previous month. Each line color represents a different app version.
Here are what the details in the crash page cover:
- Exception & Crash Cause: Main application frame that caused the crash.
- Max App Version: The highest version of the app where the crash occurred.
- Occurrences: The number of times this crash has occurred.
- Affected Users: The number of unique users that experienced this crash.
- No. of Occurrences Per Day: Shows number of crashes on the Y-axis and date on the X-axis.
- OS: A breakdown of the percentage of crashes by OS version.
- App Versions: A breakdown of the percentage of crashes by app version.
- Devices: A breakdown of the percentage of crashes by device model.
Stack Trace
In each crash report, you can find the stack trace of the crash with the most important frames highlighted in blue. These highlighted frames are your application's frames. In order for these crashes to be readable, symbolication is required. More information on symbolication can be found here.
Code Ownership
Sometimes, different stack traces are related to different teams within your organization. In an effort to allow for a more efficient method of assigning crash reports to the related teams, you can set up code ownership rules that use paths and filenames as conditions to allow for a more automated workflow.
In the rules page, you can use code ownership to check for specific paths and filenames, these are then compared against the first non-system frame in the stack trace.
When setting up the rule, Instabug supports partial matching of paths using the match condition (not case sensitive), let's take a look at some examples:
Sample Crash
Actual Crash Path: instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash
Successful Match | Unsuccessful Match |
---|---|
- instabug - instabug/crashes - instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash - instabug/crashes/list - /crashes/list - /list/singleCrash | - instabug//crashes - /instabug/crashes - /instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash/ - instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash/Occurrence - instabug/cr/list - crashes/instabug |
Unsuccessful Matches:
- instabug//crashes - contains an extra slash in the middle
- /instabug/crashes - contains an extra slash before instabug
- com/instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash/ - contains an extra slash after singleCrash
- instabug/crashes/list/singleCrash/Occurrence - contains an extra sub-path
- instabug/cr/list - Instabug does not match partial words (cr and crashes in this case)
- crashes/instabug - path is written in a wrong order
Occurrences
Each crash has occurrences, a unique instance of that crash. With each occurrence, you can find extra details about every instance, such as logs, Session Profiler, and User Attributes. You can go through these unique occurrences by clicking on the View Occurrences button.
Tags
You can add tags to crash reports for filtering and analysis. More details regarding these tags can be found here.
