What is the purpose and functionality of YCrash? YCrash is a secure tool for analyzing the root cause of issues. It is designed to be non-intrusive and compatible with any platform. Unlike traditional methods that can take days or even weeks, YCrash can quickly identify the main cause of a problem within seconds. It gathers application- and system-level data to generate an instant root cause analysis report, which can be accessed from any device, at any time, and from anywhere. The YCrash product suite is trusted by over 400,000 engineers worldwide, including major companies like IBM, SAP, Oracle, Apple, Bloomberg, Cisco, Wells Fargo, TD Bank, London Stock Exchange, Toyota, Cerner, T Mobile, Zen Desk, Intuit, Workday, ServiceNow, MetLife, and Kayak. The YCrash dashboard provides a timeline of all production issues within a company, and all analysis reports are conveniently stored in one location for easy reading, searching, and analysis. Typically, heap dumps, thread dumps, and GC logs contain sensitive information such as IP addresses, SSNs, VATs, credit card numbers, and code paths. These dumps are often shared through various methods like FTP sites, SharePoint, wikis, and Google Drive by operation engineers, and then downloaded by developers onto their local machines. As a result, sensitive information becomes dispersed across multiple locations.
