Change xmx parameter value to appropriate one.
Mat parse dump long.
In this article we ll show different ways to capture a heap dump in java.
Launching eclipse and updating the ui is an extra load on the jvm that is already busy analyzing a 30g heap dump.
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.
The snapshot mainly consists.
When parsing a heap dump mat fails with a parsing heap dump has encountered a problem.
However trying to get the ui to run remotely is very painful.
Go to eclipse mat home directory and edit memoryanalyzer ini file.
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 eclipse foundation home to a global community the eclipse ide jakarta ee and over 350 open source projects including runtimes tools and frameworks.
If you try to open 4gb hprof and get java heap space error you should try to raise xmx above 4gb.
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.
They are very useful to troubleshoot memory leak problems and optimize memory usage in java applications.
A heap dump is a snapshot of the heap memory of a java process at a given time.
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.
By default mat takes the first heap dump.
But parseheapdump script that comes along with mat does the job of parsing and creating indices in a short span of time.
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.
The agent can write multiple heap dumps into one hprof file.
It handles the reading of a new heap dump new means that no indexes for this heap dump.
If you want to read an alternative dump one has to start mat with the system property mat hprof dump nr index.
Eclipse memory analyzer tool mat is by far the best tool to analyze java heap dumps.
