Hello all,

another method to capture thread dumps should be added to the documentation page: Thread Dump.

Since JDK1.5 the following general procedure is possible:

• identify the PID of the JIRA process
  • on Microsoft Windows configure the Task Manager to display process PIDs (View > Select Columns... > PID) and search for Image Name "tomcat5.exe"
  • on UNIX like systems use command "ps"
• on a command line shell and execute the following:
  • "JDK_PATH/bin/jstack.exe -l PID >> WRITABLE_PATH/threaddump.log" (works on both Microsoft Windows and UNIX)
• attach the generated file

Best,
Eddy
