Delivers a JSON-formatted diagnostic summary, written to a file.
The report is intended for development, test and production use, to capture
and preserve information for problem determination. It includes JavaScript
and native stack traces, heap statistics, platform information, resource
usage etc. With the report option enabled, diagnostic reports can be triggered
on unhandled exceptions, fatal errors and user signals, in addition to
triggering programmatically through API calls.
A complete example report that was generated on an uncaught exception
is provided below for reference.

<h2>Usage<a class="mark" href="#report_usage" id="report_usage">#</a></h2>
<pre><code class="language-bash">node --report-uncaught-exception --report-on-signal \
--report-on-fatalerror app.js</code></pre>
<ul>
<li>
<code>--report-uncaught-exception</code> Enables report to be generated on
un-caught exceptions. Useful when inspecting JavaScript stack in conjunction
with native stack and other runtime environment data.
</li>
<li>
<code>--report-on-signal</code> Enables report to be generated upon receiving
the specified (or predefined) signal to the running Node.js process. (See below
on how to modify the signal that triggers the report.) Default signal is <code>SIGUSR2</code>.
Useful when a report needs to be triggered from another program.
Application monitors may leverage this feature to collect report at regular
intervals and plot rich set of internal runtime data to their views.
</li>
</ul>
Signal based report generation is not supported in Windows.
Under normal circumstances, there is no need to modify the report triggering
signal. However, if <code>SIGUSR2</code> is already used for other purposes, then this
flag helps to change the signal for report generation and preserve the original
meaning of <code>SIGUSR2</code> for the said purposes.
<ul>
<li>
<code>--report-on-fatalerror</code> Enables the report to be triggered on
fatal errors (internal errors within the Node.js runtime, such as out of memory)
that leads to termination of the application. Useful to inspect various
diagnostic data elements such as heap, stack, event loop state, resource
consumption etc. to reason about the fatal error.
</li>
<li>
<code>--report-compact</code> Write reports in a compact format, single-line JSON, more
easily consumable by log processing systems than the default multi-line format
designed for human consumption.
</li>
<li>
<code>--report-directory</code> Location at which the report will be
generated.
</li>
<li>
<code>--report-filename</code> Name of the file to which the report will be
written.
</li>
<li>
<code>--report-signal</code> Sets or resets the signal for report generation
(not supported on Windows). Default signal is <code>SIGUSR2</code>.
</li>
</ul>
A report can also be triggered via an API call from a JavaScript application:
<pre><code class="language-js">process.report.writeReport();</code></pre>
This function takes an optional additional argument <code>filename</code>, which is
the name of a file into which the report is written.
<pre><code class="language-js">process.report.writeReport('./foo.json');</code></pre>
This function takes an optional additional argument <code>err</code> which is an <code>Error</code>
object that will be used as the context for the JavaScript stack printed in the
report. When using report to handle errors in a callback or an exception
handler, this allows the report to include the location of the original error as
well as where it was handled.
<pre><code class="language-js">try {
 process.chdir('/non-existent-path');
} catch (err) {
 process.report.writeReport(err);
}
// Any other code</code></pre>
If both filename and error object are passed to <code>writeReport()</code> the
error object must be the second parameter.
<pre><code class="language-js">try {
 process.chdir('/non-existent-path');
} catch (err) {
 process.report.writeReport(filename, err);
}
// Any other code</code></pre>
The content of the diagnostic report can be returned as a JavaScript Object
via an API call from a JavaScript application:
<pre><code class="language-js">const report = process.report.getReport();
console.log(typeof report === 'object'); // true

// Similar to process.report.writeReport() output
console.log(JSON.stringify(report, null, 2));</code></pre>
This function takes an optional additional argument <code>err</code>, which is an <code>Error</code>
object that will be used as the context for the JavaScript stack printed in the
report.
<pre><code class="language-js">const report = process.report.getReport(new Error('custom error'));
console.log(typeof report === 'object'); // true</code></pre>
The API versions are useful when inspecting the runtime state from within
the application, in expectation of self-adjusting the resource consumption,
load balancing, monitoring etc.
The content of the report consists of a header section containing the event
type, date, time, PID and Node.js version, sections containing JavaScript and
native stack traces, a section containing V8 heap information, a section
containing <code>libuv</code> handle information and an OS platform information section
showing CPU and memory usage and system limits. An example report can be
triggered using the Node.js REPL:
<pre><code class="language-console">$ node
> process.report.writeReport();
Writing Node.js report to file: report.20181126.091102.8480.0.001.json
Node.js report completed
></code></pre>
When a report is written, start and end messages are issued to stderr
and the filename of the report is returned to the caller. The default filename
includes the date, time, PID and a sequence number. The sequence number helps
in associating the report dump with the runtime state if generated multiple
times for the same Node.js process.
<h2>Configuration<a class="mark" href="#report_configuration" id="report_configuration">#</a></h2>
Additional runtime configuration of report generation is available via
the following properties of <code>process.report</code>:
<code>reportOnFatalError</code> triggers diagnostic reporting on fatal errors when <code>true</code>.
Defaults to <code>false</code>.
<code>reportOnSignal</code> triggers diagnostic reporting on signal when <code>true</code>. This is
not supported on Windows. Defaults to <code>false</code>.
<code>reportOnUncaughtException</code> triggers diagnostic reporting on uncaught exception
when <code>true</code>. Defaults to <code>false</code>.
<code>signal</code> specifies the POSIX signal identifier that will be used
to intercept external triggers for report generation. Defaults to
<code>'SIGUSR2'</code>.
<code>filename</code> specifies the name of the output file in the file system.
Special meaning is attached to <code>stdout</code> and <code>stderr</code>. Usage of these
will result in report being written to the associated standard streams.
In cases where standard streams are used, the value in <code>directory</code> is ignored.
URLs are not supported. Defaults to a composite filename that contains
timestamp, PID and sequence number.
<code>directory</code> specifies the filesystem directory where the report will be written.
URLs are not supported. Defaults to the current working directory of the
Node.js process.
<pre><code class="language-js">// Trigger report only on uncaught exceptions.
process.report.reportOnFatalError = false;
process.report.reportOnSignal = false;
process.report.reportOnUncaughtException = true;

// Trigger report for both internal errors as well as external signal.
process.report.reportOnFatalError = true;
process.report.reportOnSignal = true;
process.report.reportOnUncaughtException = false;

// Change the default signal to 'SIGQUIT' and enable it.
process.report.reportOnFatalError = false;
process.report.reportOnUncaughtException = false;
process.report.reportOnSignal = true;
process.report.signal = 'SIGQUIT';</code></pre>
Configuration on module initialization is also available via
environment variables:
<pre><code class="language-bash">NODE_OPTIONS="--report-uncaught-exception \
 --report-on-fatalerror --report-on-signal \
 --report-signal=SIGUSR2 --report-filename=./report.json \
 --report-directory=/home/nodeuser"</code></pre>

<a href="worker_threads.html"><code>Worker</code></a> threads can create reports in the same way that the main thread
does.
Reports will include information on any Workers that are children of the current
thread as part of the <code>workers</code> section, with each Worker generating a report
in the standard report format.
The thread which is generating the report will wait for the reports from Worker
threads to finish. However, the latency for this will usually be low, as both
running JavaScript and the event loop are interrupted to generate the report.
