Description

FELIX-3339 added a new Inventory Printer to retrieve VM thread dumps.

Analogous to the Memory Usage plugin a Web Console plugin for the thread dumper would be helpfull:

• to automatically create repeated thread dumps
• store thread dumps in files
• make thread dumps accessible as plain files or zips
• make thread dumps accessible as plain or zipp-ed files containing all dumps in a single file
• remove thread dumps from the store
• Include the thread dump files as attachement when creating the "Inventory Printer full ZIP"
• Add automatic deadlock detection: Probably by regularly checking for the existing deadlocks and then requesting a thread dump.
• Deadlock detection in the Plugin: If the plugin is opened and a deadlock is detected a clearly visible warning/information is shown.
