Getting Familiar with the Heap Tab
The Heap tab depicts Java heap contents and free memory distribution (Figure 10-1).
The Heap tab is divided into the following sections:
- Heap Snapshot at the End of the Recording-this panel contains all the specifics about your heap at a glance.
- Heap Contents-this graph gives a visual overview of the distribution of different sizes of objects. The table below the graph gives the exact data for each category of memory.
- Free Memory Contribution-this graph gives a visual overview of the distribution of the different chunks of free memory that there is on the heap. The table below the graph gives the exact data for each category of memory.
