Preview of DumpAlerts tool
The tool monitors folders where dumps can be saved including Dr. Watson, a folder specified when NTSD is set as a default debugger, etc. It then alerts a user, an administrator or a software vendor whenever a new dump is saved:
- Icon in System Tray changes its color from green to red
- Popup window appears until dismissed
- E-mail is sent to a specified address
- Sound is played
- Custom action is executed, for example, automatically launching WinDbg.exe with the latest dump or copying it to an ftp server
All actions are fully configurable and can be enabled/disabled. Here is the screenshot of the main window:
I’m planning to incluide TAPI support and alerts from hung applications in the next version(s).
Later this tool will included in Dump Monitor Suite
Any comments and suggestions are welcome.
