Shortest Paths to Roots

Last modified: 25 July 2024

The Shortest Paths to Roots group of views shows the shortest paths to an instance from the application's roots: the shortest path for each root.

For convenience, dotMemory presents paths in two ways: as a plain list (Shortest Paths) and as a tree (Merged Shortest Paths). To select a certain way, click the corresponding button in the list of views.

Use the views to inspect the instance's retention paths and identify what prevents the instance from being collected. This can be useful when investigating not exclusively retained objects (For more information, refer to Group by Dominators).
