Abstract
An improved method of analyzing software issues may include retrieving and storing selected data elements from the operating system kernel data prior to performing a memory dump. The method of retrieving the selected kernel data may include creating a thread dedicated to collecting the data and storing it in a memory location for analysis after the memory dump. The operating system kernel data may be analyzed in conjunction with the prior art dump data to identify a root cause of the software issue.
