Crash Instrumentation

Status: experimental

The crash instrumentation detects uncaught exceptions in the user application and reports these occurrences as telemetry.

Telemetry

This instrumentation produces the following telemetry:

Crash

• Type: Event (*)
• Name: device.crash (see note below)
• Description: An event that is generated for exceptions not handled by user code.
• Attributes:
  • event.name: device.crash (see note below)
  • exception.message (see semconv here)
  • exception.stacktrace (see semconv here)
  • exception.type (see semconv here)
  • thread.id (see semconv here)
  • thread.name (see semconv here)
