How do I create a heap dump with AppD?

Anand.Jayaraman

Typically in a java application we do specify the following JVM arguments like:

 

 

-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

-XX:HeapDumpPath=./java_pid<pid>.hprof

-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError="< cmd args >;< cmd args > 

-XX:+UseGCOverheadLimit

 

Is it possible to get the Heap dump using AppD without having to specify the arguments above? I don't think AppD gives as much capabilities of analyzing a heap dump like Eclipse MAT etc. Which gives information on which are the objects that are responsible for the memory leak etc. and more details.

Anand,

 

You are corect that, being a real-time APM solution, we do not provide forensic heap dump analysis capabilties.

 

We do, however, provide a set of memory diagnostic capabiltiies to help you pinpoint the root cause of memory leaks; these capabilities are documented here.

 

Warm regards,

Peter
