IIS Worker process details

We have an on going memory issue that is pointing to the IIS Worker process. Is there a way to drill into the IIS worker process to get more details on what exactly is consuming the memory.

Actually the best way to analyse memory leak was and always will bee memory dump.

according to this link unfortunately this feature will work only for java and nodejs. You will also need activegate in your environment to be able to make it. So for .NET I suggest to use different options to make such dump and analyze it outside dynatrace.

That is what I thought, but I wanted to confirm. Thanks for the information.

Do we know if .NET will be added to the memory dump capabilities in the future?

I didn't find any information about supporting memory dumps for .NET

Memory dumps for .NET in Dynatrace are supported for a while now , not sure on exact minimum versions
