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 from Breakpad. It 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
• Socorro Architecture Overview
• Socorro Middleware
• Socorro UI - The Socorro front end, written in PHP.

Code Repository

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

The project will be moving to Github in the near future. Once this move takes place, we will update the documentation here accordingly. The current project on Github can be watched https://github.com/rhelmer/socorro
