yCrash comprises two core components that work together to deliver precise, automated root cause analysis:
yc-360 Script – Captures vital troubleshooting artifacts (GC logs, Thread dumps, Heap dumps, netstat, etc.) from your application and securely transmits them to yCrash Server for analysis.
yCrash Server – Receives the artifacts, performs intelligent analysis, and generates a unified root cause analysis report to pinpoint the source of performance issues with speed and clarity.
