I tried to put a sleep where I wanted the snapshot, and then go to the MAT UI and click, but I was feeling like mr bean[1] playing to the incredible machine[2]. But maybe I missed something? The dump can also be triggered by OutOfMemoryError by passing -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError as VM argument, but it doesn't work by manual throw new OutOfMemoryError(). It must be done by the VM itself. Besides that, one of the issue is not to minimize the average memory, but also prevent high peak memory usage, because that may trigger the OutOfMemoryError. The Massif tool of Valgrind is able to record peak memory usages for C/C++. Does somebody knows if there is a way to monitor peaks memory usage in Java, ans possibly trigger a dump even if the OutOfMemoryError is not reached?
