Citrix recently released a new utility to their KB called Spike Explorer.
Sounds like a very good tool to add to your toolkit!
SpikeExplore extends the functionality of QSlice.exe—it captures the spiking
thread details and user dumps of spiking processes. Spiking thread details
are saved to Microsoft Word .doc files.
*SpikeExplore Features:*
- It has a user-friendly GUI.
- It supports three types of dump creation options using the File
menu (multiple select is possible):
- It creates user dumps of selected processes.
- It creates Word documents with the user dumps of selected
spiking processes along with thread details.
- It creates Word documents with the user dumps of all spiking
processes along with spiking thread details. It currently dumps all
processes that consume more than 10 percent of the CPU.
- It supports a pop-up File menu to create user dumps and
spiking thread details.
- It provides toolbar buttons for the three dumping menu items listed
above for the File menu (refer to the second bullet above).
- It is supported on x86 systems, 32-bit Windows XP, Windows Server
2003 and Windows 2000 Server.
- It updates the CPU usage of the machine and individual processes
every second.*
Note*: CPU usage for this tool is around 0 to 1 percent.
- By default it uses NTSD.exe as the default debugger to create user
dumps. It also provides the option to change the default debugger to other
known debuggers (for example, windbg.exe or userdump.exe).
