Hi! I landed and deployed the change today. Previously, we'd get signatures like this:
IPCError-browser | ShutDownKill Now that text gets prepended to whatever the signature was. After deploying the change, I went and reprocessed the last week of signatures. You can see the differences here: https://crash-stats.mozilla.org/search/?signature=~ShutDownKill&product=Firefox&date=%3E%3D2020-01-30T00%3A00%3A00.000Z&date=%3C2020-02-06T23%3A57%3A00.000Z&_facets=signature&_sort=-date&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#facet-signature One thing to note is that I changed a signature generation rule that isn't specific to ShutDownKill crash reports--it's general to all IPCError crash reports. If there are cases of IPCError crash reports where this change doesn't make sense, chime in on bug #1612569 and I can adjust the changes accordingly. /will On Thu, Feb 6, 2020 at 6:16 AM Gabriele Svelto <gsve...@mozilla.com> wrote: > > [cross-posting to dev-platform] > > IPCError-browser | ShutDownKill crashes are the second most common ones > after OOMs and generally not actionable because we've been lumping > together a bunch of different stacks under the same signature. > > These crashes represent a snapshot of a content process taking too long > to shut down.
