Abstract: The present disclosure presents a method and an apparatus for transmitting symbol files. For example, the method may include storing one or more symbol files at a local server, identifying a symbol file associated with a crash dump file by parsing the crash dump file, and determining whether the identified symbol file is to be transmitted to a central symbol server. Furthermore, such an example method may include retrieving the identified symbol file from the local server based at least on the determining, and transmitting the retrieved symbol file to the central symbol file server based at least on the determining. As such, transmission of symbol files is achieved.
