Dump agents

A dump agent performs diagnostic tasks when triggered. Most dump agents save information on the state of the JVM for later analysis. The "tool" agent can be used to trigger interactive diagnostics.

The following table shows the dump agents:

Dump agent Description
console Basic thread dump to stderr.
system Capture raw process image. See Using system dumps and the dump viewer.
tool Run command-line program.
java Write application summary. See Using Javadump.
heap Capture heap graph. See Using Heapdump.
snap Take a snap of the trace buffers.
