Search Results for "dumps"

Python framework to analyze Linux crash dumps programmatically from 'crash' and tools written using it. Documentation (a work in progress!) is available at: https://pykdump.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

...This is invaluable for post-mortem diagnosis of production daemons where reproducing a bug in a dev shell is impractical. pyringe can inject arbitrary Python into the target process, enabling on-the-spot logging, state dumps, or gentle patching to keep a system limping along while you gather evidence. It’s also useful for forensic snapshots: enumerate objects of a certain type, find reference cycles, or measure memory pressure without pre-instrumentation. While powerful, it’s designed for careful, auditable use—showing exactly what code runs and where—so teams can regain visibility when black-box processes go sideways.
