Is there any tool for the Thread Dumps collected by AppDynamics?

I tried Thread Dump Analyzer but unfortunatelly it doesn't recognize the format.

I do not think there is any. I searched for some times and then started using my own batch as a remediation script. My batch file fires jstack to create thread dumps. It is readable by IBM thread dump analyzer. If you are using Linux then you can use shell script to do something like that.

Thanks suv3ndu,

Are you saying there is a possibilty to trigger scripts through AppDynamic agents? I'm asking because I don't have access to production servers, but if I can trigger scripts with AppDynamics it will be really helpful,

Yes, pkouzmitcheu. Remediation script: https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Remediation+Scripts

It is the easiest way. But you need to put the script on the server. From your last reply, I think that is difficult to do.

So you can try to create a custom action to take thread dumps. https://docs.appdynamics.com/display/PRO42/Custom+Actions
