[FIXED] How to read heap status with jdk 11?

Issue

With jdk 8 these were my steps to figure out how much memory is being consumed while a process is running:

/usr/java/latest/bin>: ./jps

  27116 Main
  7591 Jps
  2879 AmbusProcessor   

Then picked up process id to check the status of the heap :

/usr/java/latest/bin>: ./jmap -heap 2879  



Attaching to process ID 2879, please wait...

I am looking for a way to read the status that should look like the above example, However, not finding an option like that with openjdk 11. I have tried all possible option on jmap on openjdk11. Is there a way still to get that kind of status reading with openjdk11? I am trying to dump exactly when the outOfMemory is happening

Solution

For newer Java versions like JDK 11 you can use this command:

jhsdb jmap --heap --pid <pid>

Output is almost the same as with Java 8 and jmap.
