Health Center v1.2 has just been released with a number of new features added. The most notable of which are:

• Monitoring of "native" (process address space) memory usage
• Information on File I/O showing when files are opened/closed and what files are currently open
• Object allocation profiling

You can find more information on the Health Center homepage, and obtain the new version of Health Center as an add-on to the IBM Support Assistant (ISA) Workbench.

Over the next few entries I'll try to cover some of the problems that can diagnosed and solved using the new features.
