Investigate Memory Problems in Production Code

.NET Memory Profiler provides the most detailed information when you start the profiled application from the profiler. However, this is not always possible when troubleshooting memory problems in a production application, e.g. when the problem occurs on a customer’s computer and cannot be easily reproduced.

With .NET Memory Profiler you can:

• 

  Attach to a running process

  When you cannot start the profiled application from the profiler for any reason, you will still be able to attach to a running process and get detailed memory usage information.

• 

  Gather memory information on machines where .NET Memory Profiler is not installed

  The NmpCore tool is a standalone tool for collecting snapshots and creating session files on machines where .NET Memory Profiler is not installed.
  It requires no installation and make it easy to retrieve memory data from remote sites. (more...)

• 

  Import memory dump files

  Sometimes all you have is a memory dump file. Import it using .NET Memory Profiler, and you can easily get a visual overview of the memory usage of the process.
