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.

Research direction
The issue does not identify any repository files, tests, or entry points to investigate. Start by determining which Elastic APM component would own JVM thread and heap dump capture, then clarify the supported scope, permissions, runtime behavior, and validation needed before implementation.
