java profiling question
807597May 6 2005 — edited May 9 2005Hi, I have a question about java profiling an application which potentially has a memory leak.
We have just started using "hprof" ...http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-12-2001/jw-1207-hprof.html
Does somebody know how to analyze the results of the hprof O/P?
we use hprof every time when we do a kill -3 <pid>. In addition to getting a thread dump, a the heap is written into java.hprof.txt.
But the file is huge and complex, does anybody has any idea or an example how to read and understand this O/P ?
