| = What's Airbag? = | | = Breakpad Integration into Mozilla = |
| Airbag is a crash reporting tool. This page talks about its implementation for Mozilla.
| |
|
| |
|
| Our implementation has two parts:
| | Breakpad is a set of libraries for client-side crash reporting. This page talks about integrating breakpad with Mozilla products. [http://groups.google.com/group/google-breakpad-discuss/browse_thread/thread/4f40867980fe7452 Breakpad was formerly called airbag]. The libraries are being developed as a [http://groups.google.com/group/google-breakpad-discuss/browse_thread/thread/2a082e9c8636031c narrowly scoped] Google code project. The breakpad libraries do not provide any crash-reporting UI, nor do they provide a server. |
| * Client integration to handle crash reporting so a central server can aggregate crash data to help improve our products.
| |
| * A web interface for viewing and parsing Airbag reports. We don't have a name yet for this project -- stay tuned (no, Airbag Server System is not an option).

| # Server-side minidump processor - Mostly implemented by [http://airbag.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/src/processor/ airbag processor], in the minidump_stackwalk example program, we will probably want to modify that a bit to make the output more machine readable, so we can store it in a DB.

| Win32 trunk nightlies currently include the airbag code, but it's disabled at runtime by default. To test it, you will need to set the environment variable <code>MOZ_AIRBAG=1</code>. Crash reports are currently collected at:
