A debugging and diagnostics system allow for dynamic code generation that inserts code into a production application to identify snappoints that cause snapshots to be taken if predefined conditionals are satisfied. The snappoints are associated with locations in source code for the production application and include conditional statements that must be met to create a snapshot of the production application. The snappoints are used to generate a collection plan that is provided to the server running the production application. The server rewrites the code of the production application based upon the collection plan to insert instructions that create snapshots when the conditional statements are met.
