The sample debug target is a simple webapi application. The sample triggers undesirable behaviors for the .NET Core diagnostics tutorials to diagnose.

After downloading the source, you can easily run the webapi using:

dotnet build
dotnet run

The target triggers undesirable behaviors when hitting specific URLs.

http://localhost:5000/api/diagscenario/deadlock

This method will cause the target to hang and accumulate many threads.

http://localhost:5000/api/diagscenario/highcpu/{milliseconds}

The method will cause to target to heavily use the CPU for a duration specified by {milliseconds}.

http://localhost:5000/api/diagscenario/memleak/{kb}

This method will cause the target to leak memory (amount specified by {kb}).

http://localhost:5000/api/diagscenario/memspike/{seconds}

This method will cause intermittent memory spikes over the specified number of seconds. Memory will go from base line to spike and back to baseline several times.
