Search for a crash

Last updated on

Overview​

This guide shows you how to use different methods to search for crashes on AccelByte Development Toolkit (ADT) Web.

Use the Search field to find a crash​

The Search field is in the header of ADT Web page. Input any keyword such as exception name, version, computer name, username, CPU, GPU, and more to search for a crash.

info

The Search field works with the Date filter on the header, enabling searches for keywords over a period of time.

With Advanced Search, you can search on one or more keywords, use the wildcard character, and more.

Wildcards​

You can run wildcard searches on individual terms, using ? to replace a single character and * as a wildcard:

W?ndows 10*
info

Be aware that wildcard queries use an enormous amount of memory and perform badly. For example, the system must query a lot of terms to match the string "a* b* c*".

This is the syntax to use when you search by keyword:

<field_name>:keyword
info

Keywords are case sensitive; you need to input the field name exactly.

Here is the list of searchable field names.

Field NameDescription
event_id
issue_id
user_id
callstacks
modules
exception_message
game_version
session_id
seen
source_context
additional_infoAdditional info that came from ADT SDK; you can also search the children of this value (read the Search Behavior section below to learn more).
platform_name
platform_architecture
engine_name
engine_version
user_name
computer_name
crash_typeType of crash; can be editor or shipping
crash_guidCrash GUID identifier from Unreal Engine; the value usually looks like this UE4CC-Windows-9E91F2A84F9FF07133CF998C90852EE5_0001
version_id
version_string
game_id
game_name
ip_address
operating_system
operating_version
system_architecturecan be x64 or x86
cpu
gpu
country
locale

Search behavior​

In this section, we introduce powerful search mechanisms you can use to get the most from your crash data.

Each crash has its own data block that contains data fields. You can use behaviors to find the data fields you are searching for.

Example InputBehavior
intel OR amdFind crashes where any field contains the words intel or amd
amd AND ryzenFind crashes where all fields contain amd and ryzen
platform_name: windowsFind crashes where the data field platform_name contains the word windows
operating_system: (windows OR linux)Find crashes where the data field operating_system contains the word windows or linux
operating_system: "Windows 10 Pro"Find crashes where the field operating_system contains the words Windows 10 Pro
additional_info.Current\ Level: Tunnels_Persistent

Find crashes where the additional_info.Current\ Level field contains the words Tunnels_Persistent

Note that you need to escape the space for field Current Level with a backslash.

additional_info./*: Tunnels_Persistent OR BP_CheckpointTrigger13_20

Find crashes where any of the fields additional_info.Current Checkpoint ID, additional_info.Current Level or additional_info.Last Checkpoint IDcontains Tunnels_Persistent or BP_CheckpointTrigger13_20

Note that you need to escape the * with a backslash

Regular expressions​

You can embed regular expression patterns in the query string by wrapping them in forward slashes ("/").

We explain the supported regular expression syntax in Regular expression syntax.

Fuzziness​

You can search for terms that are similar to our search terms using the “fuzzy” (~) operator:

intl~ windws~ lnx~

This uses the Damerau-Levenshtein distance to find all terms with a maximum of two changes, where a change is an insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single character, or transposition of two adjacent characters.

The default edit distance is 2, but an edit distance of 1 is sufficient to catch 80% of all misspellings. Specify it as:

windws~1

Ranges​

You can specify ranges for date, numeric, or string fields. To include a range, use square brackets [min TO max] and to exclude a range, use curly brackets {min TO max}.

  • All days in 2020:
    time:[2020-01-01 TO 2012-12-31]
  • Numbers 1..5
    count:[1 TO 5]
  • system_architecture between x64 and x86, excluding x64 and x86:
    system_architecture: {x64 TO x86}
  • system_architecture from x64 upwards
    system_architecture: [x64 TO *]
  • Dates before 2021
    time:{* TO 2021-01-01}

You can combine curly and square brackets:

  • Numbers from 1 up to but not including 5
    count:[1 TO 5}

Ranges with one side unbound can use the following syntax:

time:>2019-12-31
time:>=2019-12-31
time:<2021-01-01
time:<=2021-01-01

Exclude keyword​

Use NOT to exclude a keyword. For example, to find crashes from a CPU other than Intel, the search keyword is:


NOT cpu:intel

You can combine it with another field name. For example, to search for a crash from a CPU other than Intel and where the version_string contain 12345, use this string:

NOT cpu:intel AND version_string:*12345

You can group a search condition using ( and ). For example, for a crash that isn't from an Intel CPU and has a version other than 12345, use:

NOT (cpu:intel AND version_string:*12345)
