Description

[0,1,2,1]
Is it somehow possible to at least provide a list in the logstash and elasticsearch diagnostics about checking the out `-XX:HeapDumpPath` parameter like described here?
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/webnotes/tsg/TSG-VM/html/clopts.html
By default the heap dump is created in a file called java_pidpid.hprof in the working directory of the VM,
otherwise read out the parameter if set up.
It should do something like a `ls -l` because it informs about the exact dates, when a heap dump was created and that can help to add up to
https://github.com/elastic/support-diagnostics/issues/307
Potentially would be interesting to have an option about to add a new separate tar.gz of a heapdump? Ideally there would be an option as well to upload the heapdump to upload.elastic.co
