App crash monitoring
We can quickly see information about your app crashes in the Dashboard section of the MobileFirst Analytics Console.
In the Overview page of the Dashboard section, the Crashes bar graph shows a histogram of crashes over time.
The data can be shown in two ways:
- Display crash rate: crash rate over time
- Display total crashes: total crashes over time
Note: The Crashes chart queries against the MfpAppSession documents. You must instrument your app to collect app uses and crashes for data to appear in the charts. If MfpAppSession data is not collected, then MfpAppLog documents are queried. In this case, the chart can count the number of crashes, but cannot compute a crash rate because the number of app uses is unknown, which results in the following limitation:
- The Crashes bar graph displays no data when Display Crash Rate is selected.
To instrument crash data, see Initializing your app to capture crash data.
