The full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training. Feel frustrated when opening a software trace with millions of messages from hundreds of software components, threads and processes? Go beyond simple CPU and disk hog monitoring or searching for errors in a text and learn how to efficiently and effectively analyze software traces and logs from complex software environments. Covered popular software logs and trace formats from Microsoft and Citrix products and tools including Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) and Citrix Common Diagnostics Format (CDF).

The full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training. Learn how to analyse Linux process crashes and hangs, navigate through process core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and much more. This book uses a unique and innovative pattern-oriented diagnostic analysis approach to speed up the learning curve. The training consists of 13 practical step-by-step exercises using GDB debugger highlighting more than 25 memory analysis patterns diagnosed in 64-bit process core memory dumps.

The full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training with 12 step-by-step exercises. Learn how to analyse app crashes and freezes, navigate through process core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and much more. We use a unique and innovative pattern-driven analysis approach to speed up the learning curve. The training consists of practical step-by-step exercises using GDB and LLDB debuggers highlighting more than 30 memory analysis patterns diagnosed in 64-bit process core memory dumps.

This is a collection of Software Diagnostics Services seminar transcripts about memory dump analysis methodology developed by Software Diagnostics Institute. Includes 6 seminars on physical memory dump analysis, cloud memory dump analysis, patterns, tools, processes and best practices for software trace and memory dump analysis, pattern-oriented software forensics, a pattern language for memory forensics, and mobile software diagnostics.

This is a collection of Software Diagnostics Services seminar transcripts about pattern-oriented software diagnostics developed by Software Diagnostics Institute. Includes 9 seminars on pattern-driven software problem solving, software narratology, pattern-driven software diagnostics, systemic software diagnostics, pattern-based software diagnostics, philosophy of software diagnostics, victimware, malware narratives and pattern-oriented network trace analysis.

This reference reprints with corrections, additional comments, and classification 373 alphabetically arranged and cross-referenced memory analysis patterns originally published in Memory Dump Analysis Anthology volumes 1 – 9 including 5 analysis patterns from volume 10a. This pattern catalog is a part of pattern-oriented software diagnostics, forensics, prognostics, root cause analysis, and debugging developed by Software Diagnostics Institute.

This training course is a combined and reformatted version of the two previous books Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations and x64 Windows Debugging: Practical Foundations. The new format makes it easy to switch between and compare x86 and x64 versions.
