Monitor an application for CPU spikes
The ProcDump program was designed to be a command-line utility whose primary purpose is monitoring an application for CPU spikes and generating crash dumps during a spike that an administrator or developer can use to determine the cause of the spike.
ProcDump also includes hung window monitoring (using the same definition of a window hang that Windows and Task Manager use) and unhandled exception monitoring. It also can serve as a general process dump utility that you can embed in other scripts.
usage: procdump [-c CPU usage [-u] [-s seconds] [-n exceeds]] [-h] [-e] [-ma] [-r] [-o] [[ [dump file]] | [-x [arguments]]
-c CPU threshold at which to create a dump of the process.
-e Write a dump when the process encounters an unhandled exception.
-h Write dump if process has a hung window.
-ma Write a dump file with all process memory. The defaultdump format includes thread and handle information.
-n
Number of dumps to write before exiting.
-o
Overwrite an existing dump file.
-r
Reflect (clone) the process for the dump to minimize the time the process is suspended (Windows 7 and higher only).
-s
Consecutive seconds CPU threshold must be hit before dump is written (default is 10).
-u
Treat CPU usage relative to a single core.
-x
Launch the specified image with optional arguments.
To just create a dump of a running process, omit the CPU threshold. If you omit the dump file name, it defaults to .dmp.
What's New in This Release
· This major update to ProcDump, a tool that captures process dumps based on process CPU usage, memory consumption, and other behaviors, can now be configured to generate dumps based on the values of system performance counters.
ProcDump also includes hung window monitoring (using the same definition of a window hang that Windows and Task Manager use) and unhandled exception monitoring. It also can serve as a general process dump utility that you can embed in other scripts.
