Abstract
An automatic technique for a timely diagnostic uses a cloud service and includes (1) after a memory dump file is generated, uploading the dump file and system configurations to an analysis server, (2) extracting key call stacks from the dump file in the server, (3) searching a cloud-based knowledge base for entries corresponding to contents of the call stack and the system configurations (like model, SW version, etc.), these entries representing known issues having similar call stack contents and/or system configurations. If relevant knowledge base entries are found, then they are used to identify a root cause and suggest solutions. If no relevant knowledge base entries are found, this result is reported along with any other potentially useful data from the dump file analysis, such as an identification of a product area for a program identified by the dump file name.
