Mini Dump Configuration Instructions

To configure the Windows Error Reporting to save a mini dump locally, you can either:

• Create a .reg file with the following content:

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
  
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps]
    "DumpFolder"="c:\\crashdumps"
    "DumpCount"=dword:0000000a
    "DumpType"=dword:00000001
  

  and then import it into the registry.

• Or add the registry key manually following these instructions:

  NOTE: set the folder path for the dump explicitly without using %LOCALAPPDATA% (for example use c:\crashdumps)

---

Here is an example of the registry key after it has been created by importing the .reg file or by adding it manually :

After a redis-server.exe crash, a .dmp file will be present in the crash dump folder.

The name of the file will be redis-server.exe.1234.dmp (where 1234 is the pid of the redis-server.exe instance that crashed).

Please zip the .dmp file, upload it somewhere it can be shared (onedrive or dropbox or your personal github etc.) and report the issue.
