The diagnostic report utility allows you to generate a report containing diagnostic data on demand or when certain events occur. The situations where a report could be generated include when your application crashes, or when your application is experiencing slow performance or high CPU usage.
A diagnostic report fulfills a similar purpose to the Java Core file. The diagnostic report contains data and information that can aid with diagnosing problems in applications. The information reported includes the Node.js version, the event that triggered the report, stack traces, and more.
