+## Analyzing Out of Memory Problems
+
+If you encounter `OutOfMemoryExceptions` with your Flink application, then it
is a good idea to enable heap dumps on out of memory errors.
+
+{% highlight yaml %}
+env.java.opts: "-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The heap dump will allow you to analyze potential memory leaks in your user
code.
+If the memory leak should be caused by Flink, then please reach out to the dev
mailing list.
