Stack trace

Developers use the stack trace in the debug process, either an interactive investigation or during the post-mortem. No configuration is required to generate a stack trace.

Stack trace adds the following:

Name Description
Prints binary BuildID The Strip utility removes unneeded sections and debugging
information to reduce the size. This method is standard with
containers where the image size is essential. The BuildID lets
you resolve the stack trace when the Strip utility removes the
binary symbols table.
Print the server version information The version information establishes the starting point for
analysis. Some applications, such as MySQL, only print this
information to a log on startup, and when the crash occurs, the
log may be large, rotated, or truncated.
