  • Apache web server to manage incoming minidumps via HTTPS
  • Pass minidump data through the firewall
  • Monitor queue and minidump status
  • Check client version and state and be able to serve config changes to Breakpad Client (e.g. send message to disable client)
  • Prep minidump for handoff to the processor
  • If we provide the configuration control feature the repeater also needs to push configuration info back down to the client for such things like "turn yourself off", "slow down your retry rate" and other control options.
