I would like to find out what is the total heap size that is in use at a certain time by a Java process and I have to use jmap
.
The output of jmap -heap <pid>
gives me something like this:
Attaching to process ID 2899, please wait... Debugger attached successfully. Server compiler detected. JVM version is 14.2-b01 using thread-local object allocation. Parallel GC with 2 thread(s) Heap Configuration: MinHeapFreeRatio = 40 MaxHeapFreeRatio = 70 MaxHeapSize = 1258291200 (1200.0MB) NewSize = 1048576 (1.0MB) MaxNewSize = 4294901760 (4095.9375MB) OldSize = 4194304 (4.0MB) NewRatio = 8 SurvivorRatio = 8 PermSize = 16777216 (16.0MB) MaxPermSize = 67108864 (64.0MB) Heap Usage: PS Young Generation Eden Space: capacity = 119013376 (113.5MB) used = 117277608 (111.84464263916016MB) free = 1735768 (1.6553573608398438MB) 98.54153536489882% used From Space: capacity = 131072 (0.125MB) used = 81920 (0.078125MB) free = 49152 (0.046875MB) 62.5% used To Space: capacity = 131072 (0.125MB) used = 0 (0.0MB) free = 131072 (0.125MB) 0.0% used PS Old Generation capacity = 954466304 (910.25MB) used = 80791792 (77.04905700683594MB) free = 873674512 (833.2009429931641MB) 8.46460390077846% used PS Perm Generation capacity = 57671680 (55.0MB) used = 41699008 (39.76727294921875MB) free = 15972672 (15.23272705078125MB) 72.30413263494319% used
Can I use a formula for these values to find out total memory used?
Other suggestions on how can I find this out on Linux are welcome but jmap
is preferred over them.
Thanks
The current capacity of the metaspace is around 13.5 MB (13724 K). From that 13.5 MB, around 12.5 MB (12983 K) is used. Also, we can have up to 1 GB of metaspace (1048576 K). Moreover, 13842 KB guaranteed to be available for use by the Java virtual machine, also known as committed memory.
Using VisualVM (jvisualvm) jvisualvm is a tool to analyse the runtime behavior of your Java application. It allows you to trace a running Java program and see its the memory and CPU consumption. You can also use it to create a memory heap dump to analyze the objects in the heap.
if you are trying to compare to something like jconsole
or jvisualvm
with the main window displaying 'total heap usage' I found out that by adding 'used eden space' and 'used ps old generation space' I got the equivalent of what that graph shows in the aforementioned programs -- that's what I tend to go on now.
The entries under Heap Usage:
are listing the various partitioned memory pools in the JVM, along with their max size, used and free space. You could just add up the various used:
values, that should give you a sensible value for the total memory usage, although there may be some JVM overhead that's not accounted for in the listed pools.
