A method for obtaining data to debug an issue that affects a software application. In an embodiment, the method includes at least one computer processor receiving a request to obtain data associated with an issue that affects an executing software application. The method further includes determining a set of memory spaces utilized by the executing software application and one or more processes supporting the executing software application. The method further includes initiating a dump function to obtain data within the memory spaces of the determined set of memory spaces. The method further includes storing the data related to the dumped set of memory spaces by (i) high-speed capture and aggregation of data to volatile memory and (ii) spooling data within volatile memory to persistent memory for storage.
