I wrote many posts in this blog about troubleshooting crash and hangs issues. In some of those posts (here it is one example) I used a tool called DebugDiag in order to either capture the dump or perform the initial analysis. Today the team that it’s developing DebugDiag announced a new version of this tool, I’m talking about DebugDiag 1.2. Below is the list of the new features introduced in this version:

Analysis Automation

  • .Net 2.0 and higher analysis integrated to the Crash Hang analysis.
  • SharePoint Analysis Script.
  • Performance Analysis Script.
  • .NET memory analysis script (beta).
  • Native heap analysis for all supported operating systems

Data Collection

  • Generate series of Userdumps.
  • Performance Rule.
  • IIS ETW hang detection. 
  • .NET CLR 4.0 support.
  • Managed Breakpoint Support.
  • Report Userdump generation to the Event log.

Deployment Options

  • Import/Export of rules and configuration, including 'Direct Push' to remote servers.
  • Enterprise deployment support using XCopy and Register.bat.

Note: It is important to mention that you must uninstall all previous DebugDiag versions before you install DebugDiag 1.2.
