Create Java heapdumps with the help of core dumps
转载自：http://devops-abyss.blogspot.com/2010/03/create-java-heapdumps-with-help-of-core.htmlHi,
for some time I had the problem, that taking Java heap dumps with jmap took too long. When one of my tomcats crashed by an OutOfMemoryException, I had no time to do a heap dump because it took some hours and the server had to be back online.
Now I found a sollution to my problem. The initial idea came from this post. It had a solution for Solaris, but with some googling and try and error I found a solution for linux too.
[*]create a core dump of your java process with gdb
gdb --pid=
gcore
detach
quit
[*]restart the tomcat or do whatever you like with the java process
[*]attach jmap to the core dump and create a Java heap dump
jmap -heap:format=b
[*]analyze your Java heap dump with your prefered tool
When you get the following error in step three:
Error attaching to core file: Can't attach to the core fileThis might help:
In my case the error apeared because I used the wrong java binary in the jmap call. When you are not sure about your java binary, open the core dump with gdb:
gdb --core=You will get an output similar to this one:
