Analyzing the Java Application

From the Trend tab (see Figure 3-4), you start the analysis of your applications. The object types with the highest growth in bytes/sec are marked red (darkest) in the Trend Analysis table and they are listed at the top of the table. For each update, the list can change and the type that was the highest move down the list. The object types listed in Figure 3-4 are fetched from an example application, where you can suspect a memory leak at the objects marked red.

This section is divided into the following topics:

To Start Analyzing Your Application

To Pause Analysis of Your Application

To Stop Analysis of Your Application

To Start Further Investigation

  1. Right-click the object you think contains a memory leak.
  2. Select Show Referring Types.
  3. The Types tab appears (see Figure 3-5). For instructions on how to investigate further, see To Get Closer to the Memory Leaking Object.
