Abstract
Techniques for multiple-stage crash reporting are described herein. In particular, in some cases, a first stage may include reporting of crash metadata. Also, in some cases, a second stage may include reporting of crash artifact data, such as a crash dump file, error logs, server logs, client logs and/or other data. The crash artifact data may, in some examples, be provided after the crash metadata. By employing multiple stages for reporting of crash-related information, the time required to notify and provide at least some crash-related information to users may be reduced, without requiring the omission of any desired reporting information. Additionally, the use of multiple stages may help to ensure that a notification of the occurrence of the crash and associated metadata are consistently reported, even when crash artifact data uploads fail.
