There's a lot of documentation out there on how to use the 'jvisualvm' profiler, but very little (if any) real-life advice on how to analyze all those charts and dumps. I'm just a little overwhelmed by all the graphs and having trouble making sense of it all.

I know this is sort of a monolithic-type question, but there has to be a way to condense its typical uses into a fairly concise list - finding memory leaks, zombie threads and such.

What specifically are some of the common analyses for VisualVM?

What specifically are some of the common analyses for VisualVM?

I think these are the same as for any other Java profiler. For example, YourKit profiler demos page currently lists the following "most popular" analyses:

  • CPU profiling
  • J2EE profiling
  • Finding a memory leak
  • Profiling excessive garbage allocations
