- All Superinterfaces:
PlatformManagedObject
Diagnostic management interface for the HotSpot Virtual Machine.
The diagnostic MBean is registered to the platform MBeanServer as are other platform MBeans.
The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the diagnostic
MXBean within an MBeanServer is:

It can be obtained by calling the
PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName() method.
All methods throw a NullPointerException if any input argument is
null unless it's stated otherwise.-

dumpHeap
Dumps the heap to theoutputFilefile in the same format as the hprof heap dump.If this method is called remotely from another process, the heap dump output is written to a file named

outputFile- the system-dependent filenamelive- iftruedump only live objects i.e. objects that are reachable from others- Throws:
IOException- if theoutputFilealready exists, cannot be created, opened, or written to.UnsupportedOperationException- if this operation is not supported.IllegalArgumentException- ifoutputFiledoes not end with ".hprof" suffix.NullPointerException- ifoutputFileisnull.SecurityException- If a security manager exists and itsSecurityManager.checkWrite(java.lang.String)method denies write access to the named file or the caller does not have ManagmentPermission("control").

VMOptionobject for a VM option of the given name. - Throws:
NullPointerException- if name isnull.IllegalArgumentException- if a VM option of the given name does not exist.
-
