Generating Thread Dump on Sun JDK with Timestamp

Question

I need to generate the Thread dumps on Sun Solaris machine for my application which is using Sun's Java5. I am generating Thread Dump using the following command:

kill -QUIT pid

But the thread dumps generated using this does not log the timestamp when the dump has been taken. This is creating problem if I take multiple thread dumps.

Can you please suggest how to get the timestamp with the thread dumps?

You can use VisualVM utility provided in JDK 6.0. You can connect to your Java5 application using visualvm and can get/compare thread dump, memory dump etc.

Does it mean that VisualVM will help in generating dumps with Timestamp logged into the dumps? – Sandeep Jindal Jan 25 '11 at 07:55
Yes. You can also, compare two dumps. – Nikunj Jan 25 '11 at 08:58
