The subject matter of this specification can be implemented in, among other things, a method for crash reporting for resource-constrained devices. The method includes a step for accessing one or more rules for crash data management upon an application crash on a resource-constrained device. The one or more accessed rules take into account at least one resource constraint of the resource-constrained device. The method also includes a step for collecting crash data and communicating the crash data to a crash report management system. Either or both the collecting or the communicating of the crash data is based on the one or more accessed rules.
