Confluence 4.0 : Generating a Thread Dump Externally
This page last changed on May 13, 2011 by pwatson.
If Confluence stops responding and you cannot access its integrated Generate Thread Dump feature, it is possible to create thread dumps outside the application. External thread dumps are also useful if you require information on locks being held or waited upon by threads.
Generating a Thread Dump on Linux, including Solaris and other Unixes
Generating Thread Dumps on WindowsFrom the consoleIf you are running Confluence through a console, rather than as a service, you can click on the console and press Using jstackThe JDK ships with a tool named jstack for generating thread dumps.
OutputStandard logging for Confluence Stand-alone is sent to the atlassian-confluence.log, in the confluence-home directory, not in the confluence-install directory. Thread dumps are an exception since they dump the threads of the entire application server - they'll appear in the catalina.out file in the application directory's logs folder. You can search for the term "thread dump" in the log file for the beginning of the dump. Submit this along with the atlassian-confluence.log in your support ticket. Thread Dump Analysis Tools
