java - Command to find out -Xms and -Xmx variable values for a given java process?

Question

I have a java program, which i ran and figured out its process id with jps.

How can i see what is the value of -Xms and -Xmx variable for this java process ?

Answer 1

Try

jcmd <PID> VM.command_line
jcmd <PID> VM.flags

Answer 2

you can use jps and do it from the command line:

jps # shows pids
jps -v <pid> # shows params
jps -v <localhost:pid> # the host must be indicated

if this is not enough you can do it programmatically inside the program to check the maximum amount of memory that the Java virtual machine will attempt to use:

Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory()

and you can also use use the class MemoryUsage to get the initial, used and max ammount that can be used for memory management.

MemoryMXBean memoryBean = ManagementFactory.getMemoryMXBean();
    memoryBean.getHeapMemoryUsage().getMax()
    memoryBean.getHeapMemoryUsage().getUsed()
    memoryBean.getHeapMemoryUsage().getInit()

Answer 3

I think jmap command will give you everything you want.
usage: jmap -heap {pid}

root@BobServerStation:/usr/local $ jmap -heap 3280
