Description

Description -
We are looking for features like generating ThreadDump/HeapDump in Elastic APM tool

Solution - Requesting Elastic team to provide a feature using which we can take ThreadDump/HeapDump at any given point of time

Alternative - Using jmap, jcmd, jstat commands using CLI, Directly providing the JVM ARG +XX-HeapDumpOnOutOfMemory, Using JProfiler etc.

Context - To get a snapshot of the objects running in a thread and to get the information on java heap which contains the low-level details about object and classes allocated.
This would help us to find out the root-cause and troubleshoot any anomalies.

Thanks.
