Using system dumps and the dump viewer

The JVM can generate native system dumps, also known as core dumps, under configurable conditions. System dumps are typically quite large. Use the gdb tool to analyze a system dump on Linux®.

Dump agents are the primary method for controlling the generation of system dumps. See Using dump agents for more information. To maintain backwards compatibility, the JVM supports the use of environment variables for system dump triggering. See Dump agent environment variables for more information.
