Diagnostics - Arnold User Guide
These settings will help you monitor, troubleshoot and optimize your Arnold renders.
Error reporting
When Arnold detects a crash in Windows or MacOS, it will now open a dialog box asking if you want to report the crash to Autodesk. Submitting this will help us determine which crashes to prioritize fixing as well as aid us in deciphering why a crash occurred. If you provide your email address, when we determine that we have a fix for your crash, we will be able to notify you that a new version of Arnold is available with the fix. This is by default disabled when kick -dw is used so that the dialog box doesn't hang a remote job on a render farm. Silent reporting can also be set, which causes Arnold to automatically report crashes to Autodesk without opening a crash window; this is done in kick by passing it the following argument: -er your_email@address.com. The environment variables ARNOLD_CER_ENABLED and ARNOLD_CER_AUTOSEND_EMAIL can also be used to control the error reporting. For now, this is always enabled in plugins.
