Description

Description

Update crash reporting to use the secondlife BugSplat database and standardize all viewer variants under a single viewer application name.

Description

The Second Life viewer currently uploads crashes to the SecondLife_Viewer_2018 database. As you may have noticed, we are not in the year 2018. Additionally, different viewer versions are registering as separate applications (e.g., "Second Life Develop", "Second Life Release", "Second Life Release edu"), fragmenting our crash data.

Acceptance Criteria

  • All crash reports upload to secondlife database (not SecondLife_Viewer_2018)
  • All viewer variants register as application name viewer in BugSplat

Research direction

Search the repository for SecondLife_Viewer_2018 and the existing BugSplat application-name handling to locate the crash-reporting entry points. Verify that the configuration uses the secondlife database and that every viewer variant reports as viewer, then confirm both acceptance criteria through the relevant crash-upload path.
