PW.Diagnostics.Runtime

A plugin for the System.Diagnostics.DiagnosticSource package, exposing .NET runtime metrics including:

• Garbage collection collection frequencies and timings by generation/ type, pause timings and GC CPU consumption ratio
• Heap size by generation
• Bytes allocated by small/ large object heap
• JIT compilations and JIT CPU consumption ratio
• Thread pool size, scheduling delays and reasons for growing/ shrinking
• Lock contention
• Exceptions thrown, broken down by type

These metrics are essential for understanding the performance of any non-trivial application. Even if your application is well instrumented, you're only getting half the story- what the runtime is doing completes the picture.
