Adding Messages to the Crash Log

Use the Add Message For Crash Log window to insert an important message into the Crash Error Log.

 

Annotating the Crash Log

Use inserted messages to add important information to the crash log. For example:

  • If you enter the date and time, you know that all entries that follow occur after the specified date and time.
  • If you describe a particular system configuration change you make, you know that all messages that follow may be the result of the new configuration.

Procedure:

Step Action
1 Enter your message of 1 to 240 text characters in the Add Message for Crash Log input box.
2 Click Apply to insert your message.

Messages written to the crash error log are assigned a crash log entry number and a historical message number.
