Crash Report Client is an Unreal Engine tool that allows developers to capture C++ crash reports from supported platforms. At crash time, a dialog is shown to the user so that they may add comments or replication steps to the details of the report. Once the crash report is submitted, it’s pushed to one of Epic’s servers so that developers can review the crash and fix the underlying issue. Often, the crash is a result of code that wasn’t written by Epic.
At Sentry, we often get asked how error monitoring is different from APM or logging. To help answer this, I’ve broken down the different types of monitoring into four major categories.
There's a lot to consider when building a game, but one thing that a team shouldn't have to worry about is expensive and difficult to maintain tools. That's why BugSplat and EQU8 have partnered to offer a pre-release package to aid in the development and launch of new games. Through this partnership, studios building a new game get access to a package of world-class bug reporting and anti-cheat tools for free.
Connecting your Discord account with BugSplat allows your team to get alerted to new crashes without leaving Discord. You can now link your Discord and BugSplat accounts to receive crash alerts directly in Discord. For those who do not know, Discord is a powerful communication tool that lets teams collaborate over voice, video, screen-sharing, or text. It's also pretty darn popular with gamers.
For many of us, our computer is the central touchpoint of our working lives We spend hours each day typing away as we work, bringing back everything we've touched while grabbing a snack, running to the bathroom, working out at lunch, or taking a break with some coworkers. Everything you touch in a day—it all ends up back on your keyboard. As a result, your keyboard is likely one of the dirtiest things you touch all day. So, just how dirty is your keyboard?
Nearly eight years ago, Cory and I started on a journey to help developers build software quickly and painlessly. As software developers ourselves, we had felt the pain of being afraid to ship and spending late nights tracking down bugs. In 2013, we launched Rollbar into the world so that developers could build software faster, shipping often without fear. These days, lots of people talk about continuous delivery, and nearly all of them focus on automating releases.
Your customers are messaging, ordering, watching on a mobile device and — without a pause — carrying that experience to the web, desktop, tv, smart speaker, etc. Their expectations are that your service provides one seamless experience that goes with them where ever they are. That’s why you need resolution tools that work across organizational and technical boundaries. Now, maybe you’re tired of using an additional mobile focused tool when Sentry can cover both cases.
Customer support teams are a crucial part of any enterprise service, and in the world of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) Software, these teams need to be focused on supporting critical customer needs, not troubleshooting application errors that have reached the customer. Sentry has proved to be a pivotal part of the toolset for industry-leading GRC software company Reciprocity.
