System and method for robust storage of error event information

摘要

A system and method for robust storage of error event information is provided. Binary image information is stored in a compressed data structure in a read only portion of memory. In the event of an error condition, state information is written to a file in a series of carriage return delineated lines.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
executing an application on an end user device; detecting a first error condition affecting the application; writing state information to a state information data container, wherein the state information includes a plurality of entries of machine readable data, each entry of the plurality of entries of machine readable data being terminated by a specified character, whereby at least a portion of the state information is retrievable if a second error condition occurs during the writing of the state information; re-executing the application on the end user device; determining whether the state information data container is stored in a crash directory; and in response to determining that the state information data container is stored in the crash directory:
moving the state information data container to a pending directory;reading the state information from the state information data container; andtransmitting the state information to an analytic processing provider.
