i wondered if it was actually doing anything because activity monitor wasn't showing visualvm using the processor or memory.  so i checked the log file and got this WARNING [org.netbeans.modules.progress.spi.InternalHandle]: Cannot call progress on a task that was never started at com.sun.tools.visualvm.heapviewer.HeapFragment$1.stateChanged(HeapFragment.java:72) WARNING [null]: Last record repeated more than 10 times, further logs of this record are ignored until the log record changes.

thanks Bruno.  i have started doing it this end as well as i didn't realise it was important to compute the retained values.  eclipse memory analyser seems to have the retained values after loading but maybe doesn't drill far enough in

Hi Matthew,

I've loaded the heap profile here but its taking hours to compute the retained values. I'm tempted to cancel and try the Java 11 version to see if it's faster...

Cheers

whoops...i sent my localhost version by mistake.  i am uploading the production one now which zipped to 900MB

hi Bruno,
no i am not directly using BVal as far as i am aware
i zipped it to under 600MB.  i shared you and Jean-Louis a link via google drive.  let me know if there are any problems

Hi Mathew,

Thanks.

Are you including some bval dependency in the code of your own app?

You can zip that file. It will get much smaller. If you could share it, it would be nice indeed.

Cheers!

i have been using OpenJDK forever

i can make the jvm.hprof available by gogole drive or similar (at risk of making myself look stupid for having a big memory leak!). it is 3.2GB

On 26/12/2018 12:19, Bruno Baptista wrote:
Hi Matthew

It comes with the JDK, just type:

$ jvisualvm

But that BValExtension usage is intriguing.

Can you please let us know the top 4 classes in the retained list?

This is on 7.0.5 plus with Oracle JDK 8?

Cheers

hi Bruno,

i can't find visualvm in centos.  i had it in ubuntu but i don't know which centos repo it is in.  i suppose i could download it directly...

eclipse memory analyser gives me a retained heap size of 785,781,368 for org.apache.bval.cdi.BValExtension which is 50.38% of everything.

On 26/12/2018 11:23, Bruno Baptista wrote:
Thant's interesting Matthew.

Usually I open those in jvisualvm. I go to classes and activate the retained column.

That column will calculate the retained (effective) memory usage by class.

Usually it takes a while to calculate, that's why it's not on by default.

Cheers

TomEE 7.0.5 plus

i had a recent memory leak which was stalling the server every couple of days.  so i did a heap dump and solved that problem.

then i decided to do another heap dump because the server is running pretty slowly.  each page is taking a few seconds to load on a 32GB system.  (i did clear out work directory)

it turns out that more than half of the memory is consumed with org.apache.bval.cdi.BValExtension. is this fairly normal? using Eclipse Memory Analyser i have dug into shortest routes to GC root but i don't find any of my objects listed there. mostly BVal stuff.  are there any tips for debugging heap dumps?
