Socorro

Socorro is the name for the Mozilla Crash Stats project. It is an open source project which other companies are also using for crash statistics.

Overview

Breakpad is a set of libraries by Mozilla products for client-side crash reporting.

Socorro collects and processes collected crash data and uses a symbol server to convert raw dumps into readable stack traces, then inserts the resulting data into a database.

Socorro UI, also known as Mozilla Crash Stats, is the web interface for viewing and parsing crash reports, as well as aggregated data surrounding crash reports.

Documentation

Socorro has a number of moving parts, each of which will be documented below.

• Breakpad - Client-side crash reporter

Code Repository

The Socorro project is currently hosted on Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/socorro/ .
