DTrace
The Universal Debugger for Live Production
Why DTrace?
Reduce MTTR (mean time to resolution) for production
Prevent most production issues going unresolved or taking forever to resolve.
Debug in live production with negligible overhead to quickly determine root cause
Unified visibility into both the application and system kernel
Diagnose problems which cannot be replicated in lower environments
Don’t waste cycles trying to replicate issues in lower environments.
Resolve problems which only happen under production load
Login into live data objects to detect state
Prevent issues from making it to production
Analyze code early to capture potential performance bottlenecks
Run anywhere locally (in test) or on production cloud for similar analysis
Multiple language and OS support accelerating time to value
What Capabilities Does it Provide?
Deep application transaction tracing
Memory leak diagnosis
Core dump analysis
Keep kernel transaction tracing
Production debugging with negligible overhead
Login into & debug objects
