Stacks - Get

Captures the call stacks of a target process. Note that only managed frames are collected.

Note

This feature is not enabled by default and requires configuration to be enabled. The in-process features must be enabled since the call stacks feature uses shared libraries loaded into the target application for collecting the call stack information.

HTTP Route

GET /stacks?pid={pid}&uid={uid}&name={name}&egressProvider={egressProvider}&tags={tags} HTTP/1.1

Note

Process information (IDs, names, environment, etc) may change between invocations of these APIs. Processes may start or stop between API invocations, causing this information to change.

Host Address

The default host address for these routes is https://localhost:52323. This route is only available on the addresses configured via the --urls command line parameter and the DOTNETMONITOR_URLS environment variable.

URI Parameters

Name In Required Type Description
pid query false int The ID of the process.
uid query false guid A value that uniquely identifies a runtime instance within a process.
name query false string The name of the process.
egressProvider query false string If specified, uses the named egress provider for egressing the collected stacks. When not specified, the stacks are written to the HTTP response stream. See Egress Providers for more details.
tags query false string (7.1+) A comma-separated list of user-readable identifiers for the operation.

See ProcessIdentifier for more details about the pid, uid, and name parameters.

If none of pid, uid, or name are specified, a stack of the default process will be captured. Attempting to capture a stack of the default process when the default process cannot be resolved will fail.

Authentication

Authentication is enforced for this route. See Authentication for further information.

Allowed schemes:

  • Bearer
  • Negotiate (Windows only, running as unelevated)

Responses

Name Type Description Content Type
200 OK CallStackResult Callstacks for all managed threads in the process. application/json
200 OK text Text representation of callstacks in the process. text/plain
202 Accepted When an egress provider is specified, the artifact has begun being collected.
400 Bad Request ValidationProblemDetails An error occurred due to invalid input. The response body describes the specific problem(s). application/problem+json
401 Unauthorized Authentication is required to complete the request. See Authentication for further information.
429 Too Many Requests There are too many stack requests at this time. Try to request a stack at a later time. application/problem+json

Note

(7.1+) Regardless if an egress provider is specified if the request was successful (response codes 200 or 202), the Location header contains the URI of the operation. This can be used to query the status of the operation or change its state.

Additional Notes

When to use pid vs uid

See Process ID pid vs Unique ID uid for clarification on when it is best to use either parameter.
