Taking heap dump in JVM
To troubleshoot memory leak related issues in java based application, we are in need of analyzing the JVM heap dump to understand potential objects that are causing the problem.
To take the heap dump below command helps,
jmap -dump:format=b,file=jvm_heap_dump.hprof {PID}
This will create file with name - jvm_heap_dump.hprof
Then, we can use eclipse Memory Analyzer(MAT) to analyze the dump.
