Breakpad Processor Design and Requirements

The processor takes the minidump and turns it into a stack. This doesn't need to be (probably shouldn't be) a web app, but a background daemon.

• Requires read/delete access to the minidump store
• read/write access to the database

• Grab minidumps from the collector
• Process minidumps
  • Extract info from the minidump
  • Map stack trace to symbol info from Symbols Store to decipher function names, file paths and line no.
  • Store crash information to Breakpad Database
