JetBrains dotMemory

JetBrains dotMemory is a memory-profiling and analysis tool for Windows. It is intended for developers examining memory use in .NET and .NET Core applications. Its listed scope includes desktop applications, Windows services, ASP.NET web applications, IIS, IIS Express, and arbitrary .NET processes.

Users can monitor memory consumed by an application in a timeline view while profiling is in progress. They can collect allocation information as needed and take snapshots with a single click without stopping the profiling session. Snapshots can be compared with one another, while memory traffic can be examined for a selected period. Built-in inspections identify common memory issues from a snapshot and provide guidance for investigating memory usage.

For more detailed work, dotMemory lets users apply different criteria to memory-usage data. This supports drilling into the data and viewing it through different slices, pivots, and other combinations of criteria. Timeline and traffic analysis can be used to examine excessive allocations and garbage collections, including how objects were allocated and collected and which methods remain associated with those events.

In the MirrorNest download catalog, dotMemory belongs to the developer-tools category and targets the Windows platform. MirrorNest links directly to the official release instead of mirroring the software, so the catalog entry provides access to the publisher’s release. The license is unknown, and the /PerMachine package parameter can be used to install it machine-wide rather than per user.
