The Debug Diagnostic Tool (DebugDiag) is designed to assist in troubleshooting issues such as hangs, slow performance, memory leaks or fragmentation, and crashes in any Win32 user-mode process. The tool includes additional debugging scripts focused on Internet Information Services (IIS) applications, web data access components, COM+ and related Microsoft technologies.
DebugDiag 1.0 was released as part of the IIS Diagnostic toolkit and as a standalone tool. DebugDiag 1.1 is currently available as a standalone tool.
Overview
DebugDiag provides an extensible object model in the form of COM objects and provides a script host with a built-in reporting framework.
It is composed of the following 3 components; a debugging service, a debugger host, and the user interface.
The Debugging Service
The debugger service (DbgSvc.exe) performs the following tasks:
Attach/Detach the host to processes
Collect Performance Monitor data
Implement HTTP ping to Detect hangs
Inject Leak Monitor in running processes
Collect debugging session state information
