Should i automatically send diagnostics

To view events before a crash, select a crash group, a specific device report, and then click on the events tab. These properties are optional. App Center can export diagnostics crashes and errors raw data to Azure. Export diagnostics data to Blob Storage for customization of the data.

In the exportEntities field of the API property, you must indicate what type of data you wish to export: crashes, errors, attachments. When doing so, the full symbolicated crashes and corresponding stack traces will be exported. Learn more about the benefits of, and how to export your data in the export documentation. In a crash report, you can see the current threads that were active when the app crashed. The thread that crashed is highlighted in red for you to better understand the state of the app.

On Windows, the report shows only the stack trace from the thread that crashed. Showing the state of other threads at the moment of the crash isn't supported on Windows. Stay on top of your crashes by configuring your App Center app definition settings to send an email notification. You can configure this setting per app to either send an email immediately when a new crash group is created, or send a daily summary email with your app's top crashes.

I don't know how this can help in improving app stability or performance What it does with this information is not transparent and I never saw any information being recorded about your battery statistics If you click on the hamburger menu and go to activity controls, you will see what it benignly tracks with seemingly useful goals if you missed the sarcasm , see How Google is secretly recording you through your mobile, monitoring millions of conversations Bottom line - all your activites are being monitored to improve user experience etc but at a cost.

Smarter folks manage to have minimum Google components - See Android without Google courtesy Izzy Edit: Thanks to OP for pointing out that Google does collect battery information as claimed here.

This was new to me but I couldn't find any way this information is available to end users ; developers seem to be able to see it in Android Vitals and maybe elsewhere Note that you can't disable monitoring, you can only pause ; this means it would be reset to default if you factory reset your device or change your device and could be reset sneakily by OS update or Play Store update. Improve this answer. Yes, no problem indeed, your answer is helpful already. And finding a special location where Google would show me a summary of my own diagnostics would be unexpected and somewhat creepy.

But I am amazed about all the detail I as developper can get about certain users from the Play Console, especially if they write a comment or install as the only user from a specific country on a given day Let us continue this discussion in chat.

I marked this answer, although it gave me reasons why NOT to share my usage and statistics data: I tried it out today and then went to the overview-site as given in this answer by beeshyams and was shocked to see lots more about my content activities and hardly any technical detail about my apps.

So it may be labelled diagnostic data, but I will never encourage any user of our apps to turn on this option just for the benefit of more crash reports. We rather will make an effort to do more beta testing on real physical phones with our friends and staff. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google. Sign up using Facebook.

Information about your device, its settings and capabilities, including applications and drivers installed on your device, to ascertain whether your device is ready for and compatible with the next operating system or app release and ready for update.

Data about which devices have had upgrade failures and why to determine whether to offer the same upgrade again. We use both Required diagnostic data and Optional diagnostic data to troubleshoot issues to help keep Windows and related products and services reliable and secure.

Analyze issues based on specific hardware, system, and software combinations and identify where problems or issues occur with a specific or limited set of devices. Determine whether an app or process experiences a performance issue e. Microsoft uses the additional data collected when you choose to send Optional diagnostic data to help spot and fix problems more quickly.

Information about app activity to understand what the user was doing in an app that caused a problem in conjunction with what we learn about the impact of other apps or processes running on a device. Information about device health, such as battery level or how quickly applications respond to input, to better understand the data we collect about application performance issues and make corrections.

Information contained in enhanced error reporting and crash dumps to better understand the data related to the specific conditions under which an error or crash occurred. We use Required diagnostic data to improve Windows. We use Optional diagnostic data to improve Windows and related products and services. Microsoft uses Required diagnostic data for product improvement in the context of keeping your Windows device up to date and secure; problem-solving; accessibility; reliability; performance; enhancing existing Windows features; compatibility of apps, drivers, and other utilities; privacy; and energy efficiency.

Microsoft uses Required diagnostic data for this purpose as follows:. Information about which apps are installed on devices is used to prioritize app-compatibility testing and feature improvements for the most popular apps. Additional data collected when you choose to send Optional diagnostic data is used to help make even more meaningful improvements to Windows and related products and services:.

App activity information helps us prioritize app-compatibility testing and make feature improvements to apps and features that are used the most. Information about the impact of device characteristics, configuration, and app activity on device health for example on battery life is used to analyze and make changes that improve the performance of Windows devices.
