Java diagnostic information

In addition to the tools listed in the previous section, the JVM can provide additional diagnostic information in response to certain events.

JVM crash diagnostic information

If the JVM itself should happen to crash for some reason, then it generates a fatal error log with information about the state of the JVM at the time of the crash. By default, this file is named hs_err_pid{processID}.log and is written into the base directory of the PingDirectory server installation. This file includes information on the underlying cause of the JVM crash, information about the threads running and Java heap at the time of the crash, the options provided to the JVM, environment variables that were set, and information about the underlying system.
