Crash Event Overview

Overview

Crash is an unexpected exit of an application process. Specifically, crash events occur in the following scenarios:

The native code does not process C++ crash signals.
The JS/ArkTS code does process exceptions.

The following describes the meanings and specifications of fields in crash events. For details about how to use the ArkTs and C/C++ APIs provided by HiAppEvent to subscribe to system crash events, see the following documents:

Fields

params

The params parameter in the event information is described as follows.

Name	Type	Description
time	number	Event triggering time, in ms.
crash_type	string	Crash type, which can be NativeCrash (native exception) or JsError (JS exception). For details about problem analysis, see Analyzing C++ Crash and Analyzing JS Crash.
foreground	boolean	Whether the application is running in the foreground. The value true indicates that the application is in the foreground, and the value false indicates the opposite.
bundle_version	string	Application version.
bundle_name	string	Application name.
pid	number	Process ID of an application.
uid	number	User ID of an application.
uuid	string	Error ID, which is generated based on fault information and uniquely identifies crash faults of the same type.
exception	object	Exception information in brief. For details, see exception. For details about all fault information, see the external_log file.
hilog	string[]	Log information, which displays a maximum of 100 lines of HiLog logs. For more logs, see the fault log file.
threads	object[]	Full thread call stack. For details, see thread. This field applies only to NativeCrash events.
external_log¹²⁺	string[]	Path of the error log file. To avoid failed writing of new log files due to insufficient directory space, delete the log files after they are processed. For details about the threshold, see the log_over_limit field.
log_over_limit¹²⁺	boolean	Whether the size of generated fault log files and existing log files exceeds the upper limit (5 MB). The value true indicates that the upper limit is exceeded and logs fail to be written. The value false indicates that the upper limit is not exceeded.

exception

exception of JsError

Name	Type	Description
name	string	Exception type.
message	string	Exception cause.
stack	string	Exception call stack.

exception of NativeCrash

Name	Type	Description
message	string	Exception cause.
signal	object	Signal information. For details, see signal.
thread_name	string	Thread name.
tid	number	Thread ID.
frames	object[]	Thread call stack. For details, see frame.

signal

For details about the signals, see C++ Crash Signals.

Name	Type	Description
signo	number	Signal value.
code	number	Level-2 signal category.
address	string	Address where an access error occurs.

thread

Name	Type	Description
thread_name	string	Thread name.
tid	number	Thread ID.
frames	object[]	Thread call stack. For details, see frame.

frame

Native frame

Name	Type	Description
file	string	File name. It may also be anonymous memory mapping, such as [heap] and [stack].
symbol	string	Function name. If the name length exceeds 256 bytes, the name is deleted to prevent unknown issues.
buildId	string	Unique file ID. A file may not contain buildId. For details, see C++ Crash Logs.
pc	string	Number of offset bytes in a file.
offset	number	Number of offset bytes in a function.

JS frame

Name	Type	Description
file	string	File name.
packageName	string	Module package name.
symbol	string	Function name.
line	number	Line number of the exception code.
column	number	Column number of the exception code.
