Diagnostic report#

Delivers a JSON-formatted diagnostic summary, written to a file.

The report is intended for development, test, and production use, to capture and preserve information for problem determination. It includes JavaScript and native stack traces, heap statistics, platform information, resource usage etc. With the report option enabled, diagnostic reports can be triggered on unhandled exceptions, fatal errors and user signals, in addition to triggering programmatically through API calls.

A complete example report that was generated on an uncaught exception is provided below for reference.
