Memory analyzer 1 2 and earlier has no ui support to decide which heap dump to read.
Mat parse dump long.
Change xmx parameter value to appropriate one.
Illegal record length 3 801 619 192 at byte 3 783 934 196 for record type 1 the dump was generated with jmap f dump file on a linux machine running java version 1 6 0 31 java tm se runtime environment build 1 6 0 31 b04.
A heap dump is a snapshot of the heap memory of a java process at a given time.
It handles the reading of a new heap dump new means that no indexes for this heap dump.
However trying to get the ui to run remotely is very painful.
In this article we ll show different ways to capture a heap dump in java.
There are situations in which it s necessary to set xmx parameter value above the size of parsed heap dump file.
Heap dumps are usually stored in binary format hprof files.
The snapshot mainly consists.
If you try to open 4gb hprof and get java heap space error you should try to raise xmx above 4gb.
They are very useful to troubleshoot memory leak problems and optimize memory usage in java applications.
The parser extension point for parsing the new format the trigger heap dump extension point to enable the user to trigger a heap dump from the vm with mat when mat reads a new heap dump the parse method in the class snapshotfactoryimpl will be called.
All that you have to do is to copy the generated indices and the dump file to your local machine and open it with mat.
By default mat takes the first heap dump.
Launching eclipse and updating the ui is an extra load on the jvm that is already busy analyzing a 30g heap dump.
The agent can write multiple heap dumps into one hprof file.
Fortunately there is a script that comes with mat to parse the the heap dump and generate html reports without ever having to launch eclipse.
Eclipse memory analyzer tool mat is by far the best tool to analyze java heap dumps.
Go to eclipse mat home directory and edit memoryanalyzer ini file.
A heap dump is a snapshot of all the objects that are in memory in the jvm at a certain moment.
When parsing a heap dump mat fails with a parsing heap dump has encountered a problem.
But parseheapdump script that comes along with mat does the job of parsing and creating indices in a short span of time.
