Showing Available Heap Sizes in MB
The output of the zing-ps -acct command
is in bytes; you might prefer to think in Megabytes.
This technique is based on the zing-ps –acct
command and is a one-line script that uses the Linux grep command to search the output combined with the Linux awk
command to calculate and format the output.
The output from the zing-ps –acct
command is searched by grep for the line containing the Committed string. The awk
command uses $3
to select the third field which is the available balance in column three of the output with the heading BALANCE
.
The following one-line script prints the maximum Available Heap size for the JVM command option –Xmx
and if other JVMs have already been started this is less than the maximum Reservable value in column four headed MAXIMUM.
$ echo "Zing Available Heapsize (MB) is "`zing-ps --acct|grep Committed|awk '{print int($3/(1024*1024))}'
To read the total Reservable value in MB, in this one-line script the awk command is modified to use $4 to select the fourth field which is the MAXIMUM balance
$ echo "Zing Total Heapsize (MB) is "`zing-ps --acct|grep Committed|awk '{print int($4/(1024*1024))}
Example 1: No JVMs have been started.
