We got a memory error in our EA and we used -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/path/to/some/dir to dump the heap at the time of OOM.
We had a heap memory of 12GB and perm gen of 256MB.
The heap dump is generated in the Linux box where we have our application running and its size is 11.5GB. We don’t have privileges to download it to our local.
When we tried to analyze that 11GB heap dump using JHAT it thrown an OOM.
We tried the following commands from our Linux CLI.
jhat java_pid1491.hprof
jhat -J-Xmx16g -XX:-UseBiasedLocking java_pid1491.hprof
jhat -J-d64 -J-Xmx16g -J-XX:-UseBiasedLocking java_pid1491.hprof#1
For all the options its throwing an OOM exception after reading the dump for several minutes(>30 mins).
We googled it and found MAT as a powerful heap dump analyzer, but not a way to use it in LINUX.
Any suggestions would be of greater help. Thanks.

I tried ./ParseHeapDump.sh ../java_pid1491.hprof this and got following error,

I was using MAT on Linux yesterday….
