Taking SpringBoot Heapdumps & Threaddumps when running on Pod

Is there any recommended approach to taking Heapdumps & Threaddumps for a Spring Boot app running in a Pod on AKS?

And how to download the dump afterwards to my desktop?

Solution

  • There are many ways to take a heapdump and threaddumps. The easiest way for a Spring Boot app should be the Actuator endpoint.
