'CrashReportWebSite' - the URL of the crash report website for calling web services. A clientspec containing the relevant binaries and symbols is rooted here. 'DepotRoot' - we use Perforce as the symbol server, and call utilities that are stored in the regular depot (e.g. 'DaysToSunsetReport' - the number of days empty folders are kept around to suppress duplicate report uploads.

'ProcessedReports' - the location the processed crash data goes for access by the web site. 'ReportLandingZone' - the secure folder where the new reports arrive. Currently, it rejects crashes from debug builds, and from MinidumpDiagnostics (as it cannot sync itself).

The Windows Error Reporting meta data is parsed for more detailed culling. 'AppCrash_UE4-FortniteGame_a50cecbc1f087cac2543eb9f04823bbb548b119_cab_17bf8494') and this is used to prevent uploading of duplicate reports. The report folder has an embedded Guid (e.g. The secure location is currently an NFS drive which is also accessible on the intranet. Once all files are received, the folder is renamed to be detectable by the processor. Receives files to a temporary folder in a secure location. As with all externally accessible servers, it is locked down hard with minimal access. This is a web service that lives on a server in the DMZ, and is accessible from everywhere via 'CrashReportUploadURL'. 'CrashReportRepository' - the secure folder to store incoming crash reports. Engine/Binaries/DotNET/ contains the configuration properties. The uploader program then optionally launches CrashReportInput.exe to allow the user to input a description of what they were doing when the crash happened. If both these conditions are met, MinidumpDiagnostics.exe will be run to generate a report (which includes a callstack). To account for locally compiled binaries, the uploader checks to see if it has a pdb, and is running on the local domain. These folders have a Guid that is used to see if the report is already uploaded. No parameters required, but -unattended and -logfolder= as commandline options are respected.Ĭrash reports are discovered in by searching for any folders matching the pattern SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue\AppCrash_UE4-*. If the upload fails for any reason (such as the URL being unavailable), the next launch of the uploader will retry. The application is stateless in that it does not require any direct input from the engine it can be run as a standalone application and This application searches for all relevant crashes in the past 'UploadHistory' days, and uploads them the the 'CrashReportUploadURL'. 'LocalDomain' - the domain to assist with the local symbol lookup heuristic. 'UploadHistory' - how many days to search back for crashes. 'CrashReportUploadURL' - the URL of the CrashReportReceiver to send crashes to.

This new style of Windows Error Reporting was added in Windows Vista, so care will be needed if XP support is desired. Any arbitrary file can be added in AddMiscFiles() if desired, and no changes will be required except in the processor on the The report contains Windows Error Reporting meta data, a minidump of the crash, the current log, and optionally a video file of the most recent usage. NewReportCrash() creates the report and launches CrashReportUploader

The CrashReportWebsite then displays the processed reports for QA to analyse and take action.ĭetailed API documentation is stored in Perforce: /Engine/Source/Programs/CrashReporter/CrashReportHelp/bin/Development/CrashReportHelp.chm The CrashReportProcessor monitors the secure location for new reports, processes crash reports as they come in. The CrashReportReceiver resides in the DMZ, and accepts these reports and writes them to a secure location. It also optionally launches CrashReportInput so the user can input a description. The CrashReportUploader then hijacks and uploads these reports to a desired server, but leaves them on the system so they are forwarded to Windows Error Reporting. The application generates Windows Error Reporting style reports after a crash, queues them up for uploading, and then launches CrashReportUploader. The Crash Reporter suite of programs is designed to capture and analyze application crashes both internal to the company, and externally from end users.
