I'm learning that the tooling for the jvm covers a spectrum from pathetically broken to non-existent.
I've had some luck running jmap like "jmap -histo:live <pid>". Pipe it through head and run with watch, and you have a crude real-time monitor. E.g. running against the processing running from a SNAPSHOT uberjar: watch jmap -histo:live $(ps axu | grep SNA[P] | sed -e 's/ \+/\t/g' | cut -f2) \| head -40 On Tuesday, September 17, 2013 2:14:20 AM UTC-7, Joachim De Beule wrote: > > Dear Brian, > > Thanks for your reply.
