Description of Fatal Error Log
The error log contains information obtained at the time of the fatal error, including the following information, where possible:
-
The operating exception or signal that provoked the fatal error
-
Version and configuration information
-
Details on the thread that provoked the fatal error and thread's stack trace
-
The list of running threads and their state
-
Summary information about the heap
-
The list of native libraries loaded
-
Command line arguments
-
Environment variables
-
Details about the operating system and CPU
|
Note: In some cases only a subset of this information is output to the error log. This can happen when a fatal error is of such severity that the error handler is unable to recover and report all details. |
The error log is a text file consisting of the following sections:
-
A header that provides a brief description of the crash. See Header Format.
-
A section with thread information. See Thread Section Format.
-
A section with process information. See Process Section Format.
-
A section with system information. See System Section Format.

Note: The format of the fatal error log described here is based on Java SE 6. The format might be different with other releases. |
