Jul 13, 2016 The system seems to be operating normally since the upgrade, aside from some documented issues with Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 associated with running it under El Capitan. Com.apple.stackshot provides stack trace logging for diagnostic troubleshooting. Update to quicken 5.14.3 on my mac created an unresponsive hang. Please provide a fix! I am up for renewal in a few days. If I can not use the app, it would be unfortunate.
sysdiagnose can be triggered by pressing Cmd+Opt+Ctrl+Shift+Period, and it may take a few minutes to complete. When ready, the output will automatically be revealed in a Finder window (or it can be manually retrieved from /var/tmp). What sysdiagnose Collects:
- A spindump of the system
- Several seconds of fs_usage ouput
- Several seconds of top output
- Data about kernel zones
- Status of loaded kernel extensions
- Resident memory usage of user processes
- All system logs, kernel logs, opendirectory log, windowserver log, and log of power management events
- A System Profiler report
- All spin and crash reports
- Disk usage information
- I/O Kit registry information
- Network status
- If a specific process is supplied as an argument: list of malloc-allocated buffers in the process's heap is collected
- If a specific process is supplied as an argument: data about unreferenced malloc buffers in the process's memory is collected
- If a specific process is supplied as an argument: data about the virtual memory regions allocated in the process
sysdiagnose can be found here. [
crarko adds: This seems to be primarily intended for software developers as a debugging aid, but I can see it useful for system troubleshooting at a low level as well. I tried it and found the output (text) file in /var/tmp, as mentioned above.]
