This Wiki gives an introduction on how to use the TDA - Thread Dump Analyzer. TDA parses your log files and displays all found thread dumps and class histograms reported from a Sun JVM 1.4.x or better, SAP VM or HP-UX VM. Class Histograms are not included in the thread dumps by default but need a special JVM-Flag to be dumped with the thread dump (see below). As TDA does everything offline and thread dumps have very low impact on the VM (including the class histogram option), it can be used for production environments.

TDA can also be used as plugin in JConsole or VisualVM for requesting thread dumps from a remote virtual machine using JMX. See JConsole Plugin for further information on using it as JConsole Plugin and see VisualVM Plugin for information concerning VisualVM..
