A repository of .NET Core runtime diagnostic tools including SOS, the lldb SOS plugin, and global CLI tools like dotnet-dump, dotnet-gcdump, dotnet-trace, and dotnet-counters. It supports dump collection, heap analysis, event tracing, and real-time performance counter monitoring across many OSes and architectures.

Use cases

  • collect and analyze memory dumps of .NET Core processes
  • monitor performance counters of a running .NET application in real time
  • trace events from a live .NET Core app to a file
  • analyze the managed heap of a .NET process
  • debug .NET Core crashes with SOS in lldb
  • investigate memory leaks in production .NET services

When to choose

  • you need to diagnose crashes, hangs, or memory issues in .NET Core applications
  • you want lightweight CLI tools for live performance monitoring and tracing of .NET apps
  • you need SOS/lldb-based debugging on Linux, macOS, or Windows

When to avoid

  • you need application-level or APM-style monitoring rather than runtime diagnostics
  • you are not working with .NET Core / .NET 5+ runtimes
  • you want a GUI-based profiler
