This is the preview 9 release of the dotnet-counters, dotnet-dump, dotnet-sos and dotnet-trace global CLI tools.

dotnet tool install -g dotnet-XXXX --version 3.0.0-preview9.19454.1

where XXXX is counters, dump, sos or trace.

Release Notes

SOS

  • Added the setsymbolserver -directory <symbol-search-directory> option so the modules and symbols files for a core dump don't have to be the same layout as they were when the dump was generated.

  • WARNING: SOS has been removed from the .NET Core runtime (coreclr repo) in Preview 7. Use "dotnet-sos" to install SOS. See installing sos for more information.

dotnet-dump

  • Not supported on MacOS.

dotnet-trace

  • The NetPerf format is obsolete and has now been replaced with NetTrace format which serves the identical role. The format is supported in Visual Studio starting with 16.3 Preview 1, TraceEvent version 2.0.43 and PerfView version 2.0.44. The most visible change is that trace files should be smaller than before. It is also faster to write, supports some new metadata on events, and makes some parsing scenarios more efficient. For more details see the file format spec.
