Reports for Raygun Crash Reporting allows you to construct your own custom reports based on the data and criteria that you’d like to see and segment.

You can use Reports to:

- Analyze errors in more detail by applying primary and secondary filters
- Download reports as CSVs for further data analysis outside of Raygun
- Schedule reports to be generated at a frequency that suits your own reporting needs
Why we store everything
Other crash reporting solutions sample or replicate data when they see recurring instances of the same error, storing only some of the data. Raygun stores every single error occurrence, not losing any unique detail that can help in faster error resolution. This means all of the data is at your fingertips, ready to be segmented on your own specific rule sets.
Where to find the Crash Reporting Reports feature:
You can find the Reports link underneath the Crash Reporting section in your dashboard under the application:
What makes up a Raygun Crash Reporting report?
A lot of our customers requested for their crash data to be ordered by different columns, so we made sure to add this as a feature. The columns of a report represent the data found in the properties of an error report sent to Raygun. With reports, construct as many columns as you’d like, using the metrics that only you care about. Common properties are provided to choose from and we also allow you to construct columns from your own custom properties.
Primary filters are a way of selecting which error reports to process for your report. For example you can add a version filter to only process error reports whose version is greater than or equal to one:
What does a report look like?
Once successfully generated, you will be able to view the report in the Reports section of the dashboard:
What can you do after a report has been generated?
Apply secondary filters
Secondary filters are applied to the columns of your report, allowing you to further refine your results without permanently removing entries:
Re-run the report
Re-running a report will put the report back into the queue to be processed again with a new date range. This can be useful if certain error reports you wish to include fell just outside of the original date range.
Schedule new Crash Reporting reports
Once a report has been successfully generated, it is eligible to be scheduled again. Scheduling allows you to reuse the same report definition of columns and filters to generate new reports at a frequency that suits your own reporting needs.
View the report history
Re-running or scheduling the same report will construct a report history. The history list contains links to other generated reports that share the same report definition:
