Getting Familiar with the Object Statistics Tab

At the beginning and end of a recording session, snapshots are taken of the most common types and classes of object types that occupy the Java heap, that is, the types which instances in total occupy the most memory. The results are shown on the Object Statistics tab (see Figure 9-1). Abnormal results in the object statistics might help you detect the existence of a memory leak in your application.

The Object Statistics tab

The Object Statistics tab is divided into the following sections:

  1. Start of Recording-this section lists the most common types on the heap at the beginning of the recording.
  2. End of Recording-this section lists the most common types on the heap at the end of the recording.
