★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ OanaPlatonJanuary 27, 20094 0 0 0 Windows Error Reporting is the replacement for Dr. Watson on OSs newer that Windows XP. It monitors failures and collects useful information that can be sent to https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oanapl/2009/01/27/windows-error-reporting-wer-for-developers/ a server to be analyzed (if the user allows it). This feature helped Microsoft to fix a lot of bugs – due to the reports received, Microsoft was able to prioritize bugs (based on the biggest number https://publib.boulder.ibm.com/httpserv/ihsdiag/win32_tools_doc.html of hits or other severity measures) and to solve a lot of problems. What is really cool is that any developer can request the reports for his/her product. From Bill Gates at PDC 2003: “..whenever an windows error application or the system malfunctions, you get the ability to send a report back to Microsoft. We get a lot of those reports, and we've created very good data-management systems to go in and look at those things, and therefore understand what drivers aren't reliable. We allow anyone who has an application that runs on Windows to sign up and get the reports that relate to their application, and we've got winqual.microsoft.com where windows error reporting people can do that.” Here’s how WER works: when a process crashes, WER collects the data and sends it to a server (if the user allows it; by default WER asks for consent). For non-Microsoft programs, this server is Winqual (Windows Quality Online Services). On the server side: Based on the parameters of the crash, a bucket is created to hold the new error, or the report is added to an already existing bucket (which means someone met this issue before). A developer can analyze the failure; if a solution can’t be found based on the collected data, he/she can request additional information (a dump, registry key values etc). Also, he/she can add a message explaining the failure. When an instance of the same type of crash happens, the server will display the message the developer set and will ask for the additional information if necessary. If the developer finds a solution, at the next crash the server can provide solutions (see diagram below). Read more about error reports collection and classification. On Vista and above, the user with the crashed program can go to Control Panel -> Problem Reports and Solutions (start wercon.exe) to see what failures happened on the machine. Here, youcan check for solutionsand see identified pr
Windows must be configured to save information about program crashes and hangs. This setup step must be performed prior to recreating the problem scenario. Start DRWTSN32.EXE from a command prompt. The Dr.Watson configuration dialog will be displayed and will look similar to the following: Set the Log file and Crash dump paths to the desired locations. Make a note of these values for later use. After a crash has occurred, the drwtsn32.log and user.dmp files will be retrieved from those locations. Ensure that 'Number of Instructions' is at least 10. Ensure that 'Number of Errors to Save' is at least 10. Select 'Full' for the 'Crash Dump Type' option. (This option will not appear for Windows 2000) Enable the following options (by selecting the associated checkboxes): Dump Symbol table Dump All Thread Contexts Append to Existing Log File Create Crash Dump File We recommend that the following option be disabled so that IBM HTTP Server recovers as quickly as possible after a crash: Visual Notification Click 'OK' to save these settings. Enable Dr.Watson as your default Windows debugger by entering the following at a command prompt: drwtsn32 -i (This will make the necessary changes in the Windows registry.) Setup for Windows Server 2008 and newer versions The Dr.Watson tool is no longer supplied with Microsoft Windows starting with the Microsoft Vista version of Windows. On the newer versions of Microsoft Windows, you will need to configure 'LocalDumps' on the system in order to generate the dump files needed for problem analysis and save them locally on the server. This setup step must be performed prior to recreating the problem scenario. The LocalDumps configurations can be made to apply globally for all applications on the system or for specific applications. The instructions below will configure dumps specifically for the 'IBM HTTP Server' (IHS) application. If you already have global LocalDumps settings, those settings will continue to be in effect for other applications, but will be overridden for IHS by the settings below. Logon to the server system as Administrator or a user that has administrator privileges. Create a directory into which any generated
