Until now an unhandled error in the Checkmk user interface was only shown to the user as an error box in the page. It was never recorded, so the error was lost as soon as the page was reloaded and could not be reported to the Checkmk team afterwards.
Such an error is now stored as a crash report of the new crash type
javascript, together with the page it happened on, the browser
and the stack trace of the error. It shows up in the "Crash reports" view
like any other crash report, and can be reviewed and sent to the Checkmk
team from the crash report page.
The error box shown in the page now links directly to the crash report it created, so you can report the error without looking it up first.
Repeated occurrences of the same error are aggregated into a single crash report, and an error thrown over and over on the same page is reported only once.
