Debug Diagnostic Tool

What is new in Debugdiag 2.0? This version includes an all-new analysis engine host, which simplifies analysis rule development in .NET. and comes with a built-in reporting framework, which can be accessed from .NET.

It comes with built-in analysis rules focused on web data access components, COM+, SharePoint, Internet Information Services (IIS) applications, and other Microsoft software and services.

The main window has two different tabs, one used for review data collection rules, and a Processes view that allows you to browse processes, collect dumps, and stop processes that are running on the machine. The 3 problems DebugDiag primarily helps in troubleshooting are process performance, process crashes, and memory leaks.

  1. Process Performance: The performance monitoring feature will help troubleshoot performance issues for a specific process, or slow HTTP Response times.
  2. Process Crashes: The crash monitoring feature helps determine why a process terminated unexpectedly.
  3. Memory Leaks: The memory leak monitoring feature will track memory allocations for a process.

Debug Diagnostic Tool is released as part of the IIS Diagnostic Toolkit as well as a standalone tool. It supports Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Vista, x86 and x64.
