How do I visualize the trace data generated by this skill?

The skill provides instructions for converting .nettrace files into Speedscope or Chromium formats, allowing you to view detailed flame graphs in your browser.

When should I use dotnet-dump vs dotnet-trace?

Use dotnet-trace to capture events over a period of time (like CPU usage or method calls). Use dotnet-dump to capture a point-in-time snapshot of the entire managed heap to find memory leaks.

Can I use these tools for production troubleshooting?

Yes, tools like dotnet-counters and CPU sampling with dotnet-trace are designed with low overhead, making them safe for use in production environments.

Analytics & Monitoring

Diagnoses and resolves .NET performance bottlenecks using native diagnostic tools like dotnet-counters, dotnet-trace, and dotnet-dump.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for investigating and resolving .NET application performance issues. It leverages standard .NET SDK tools to monitor real-time metrics, generate flame graphs for CPU and allocation analysis, and perform deep-dive memory dump analysis. By focusing on data interpretation—such as reading GC metrics, analyzing heap dumps, and identifying thread starvation—it helps developers move beyond tool invocation to actionable performance optimization and resource management.

Key Features

01Detailed CPU sampling and event tracing using dotnet-trace for hot path identification.

02Real-time metric monitoring with dotnet-counters for CPU, memory, and I/O triage.

03Integrated guidance for interpreting GC metrics and threadpool health.

04Visual flame graph generation and interpretation for performance visualization.

05Memory dump capture and analysis with dotnet-dump to resolve leaks and OOM issues.
