Out of Memory

The Out of Memory ("OOM") page in the Embrace dashboard helps developers identify, investigate, and resolve OOMs by surfacing relevant metrics, trends, and contextual signals.

Page details​

Key information on the OOM page:

  • Stats Banner: Quick stats on OOM impact and affected users.
  • Overall Metrics: OOM-free session/user percentages, total OOMs, and affected user counts.
  • Trends & Contribution Rates: Visualizations showing OOM rates over time, by app version, and contribution rates to quickly spot regressions or problematic releases.
  • Filtering & Segmentation: Advanced filters for device, OS, app version, and last captured view to isolate high-memory-consuming scenarios.
  • Session List: Detailed list of OOM sessions with the ability to drill into individual user sessions for context.
  • Correlated Signals: Context on what happened before the OOM (e.g., network calls, image loading, webviews) to aid root cause analysis.

What developers can learn or accomplish:

  • Root Cause Analysis: Correlate OOMs with user actions, device types, and app versions to pinpoint causes.
  • Prioritization: Quantify OOM impact on users and sessions to prioritize fixes.
  • Release Monitoring: Detect regressions in OOM rates after new releases.
  • Performance Optimization: Identify memory-heavy flows or screens and optimize accordingly.
  • User Experience: Understand how OOMs affect real users and reduce their occurrence to improve app stability.
