# Download Dumps

Using the 'Download dumps' feature user can download all artifacts(GC, Thread, Heap dumps, top, netstat, vmstat...) that were captured by the yc-360 script. This will facilitate users to do even more in-depth analysis on the raw dump files.

Since production dump files tend to contain confidential information, several organizations don't want the production dump files to be downloaded to their engineer's machines. Thus 'Download Dumps' feature is not activated by default. In order to activate this feature, you need to pass the '-DdownloadDumps=true' system property to the launch script.

In unix:

  1. Edit launch-yc-server.sh

  2. Add '-DdownloadDumps=true' system property to launch-yc-server.sh

java ... -Dapp=yc -DlogDir=. -DuploadDir=. -DdownloadDumps=true ...

In Windows:

  1. Edit launch-yc-server.bat

  2. Add '-DdownloadDumps=true' system property to launch-yc-server.bat

java ... -Dapp=yc -DlogDir=. -DuploadDir=. -DdownloadDumps=true ...
