Using dump agents

Dump agents are set up during JVM initialization. They enable you to use events occurring in the JVM, such as Garbage Collection, thread start, or JVM termination, to initiate dumps or to start an external tool.

The default dump agents are sufficient for most cases. Use the -Xdump option to add and remove dump agents for various JVM events, update default dump settings (such as the dump name), and limit the number of dumps that are produced.
