How to analyze a thread dump
The process of analyzing a thread dump can be a complex one for beginners. However, with a little practice and the right tools, you will be able to understand the different constituents of a thread dump. An easy way is to resort to Java analysis tools that can list the different threads in a thread dump according to name and priority.
Tools, such as Thread Dump Analyzer and Samurai, for instance, can help analyze your thread dumps. These are easy to install and use and can help save time. Be mindful that these tools work as business intelligence or analytics tools. Rather, they provide a simple means of navigating through various stack traces that makes thread dump analysis a lot easier and more convenient.
