Collect Process Snapshots Manually

If you want to generate some process snapshots now, you can start them manually.

  1. Navigate to the dashboard for the tier or node for which you want to collect process snapshots.
  2. Click the Process Snapshots tab.
  3. Click Collect Process Snapshots.
  4. If you are in the Tier dashboard, select the node for which you want to collect snapshots from the Node dropdown. If you are in the Node dashboard, you can only set up snapshot collection for that node.
  5. Enter how many seconds you want to collect process snapshots for this node. The maximum is 60 seconds.
  6. Click Create.
The agent collects process snapshots for the configured duration. Process snapshots that are started manually include an allocation call graph that shows how much memory has been allocated and not freed during the period recorded by the snapshot.
