Subject: RFO: a tool to analyze HotSpot fatal error logs

Hello,
I am writing to inquire about the potential interest of the people
involved in inspecting HotSpot crashes in a tool aimed at facilitating
that inspection.
We at JetBrains have developed an internal plugin that helps both with
filtering through dozens of reports quickly in order to find a pattern
and for diving deep into a particular crash. In addition to the
"standard" features such as syntax highlighting, folding, and structural
navigation, it will
* highlight potential problems such as overloaded CPU, low physical
memory, the presence of OOME in the recent exceptions, LD_LIBRARY_PATH
being set, etc,
* generate an "executive summary" for a high-level overview, for
example, by front-line support,
* pop up a tooltip for any recognized address describing its origin (for
example, if it belongs to some thread's stack, the Java heap, a
register, or a memory-mapped region),
* provide the ability to highlight all addresses "near" the selected
address, including registers, threads, and memory-mapped regions.
If there is sufficient interest in creating a public and/or open-source
variant of this internal plugin, I will pitch the idea to my employer.
It shouldn't be too much work to create a public version.
Kind regards,
Maxim.
