Abstract

Device health metrics may be collected and aggregated on a device before sending to a server for further aggregation. The method may include determining a crash has occurred on a device, and recording the crash and information corresponding to the crash in buffer storage on the device. The method may also include recording a crash type, a crash time, an identification of a component that caused the crash and a state of the device when the crash occurred. The method may also include grouping two or more crash events based on the crash type, generating device health metrics data including metadata corresponding to the two or more crash events, storing the device health metrics data in the buffer storage on the device, and sending the device health metrics data along with device identification information to a server for further aggregation.
