Use this task to enable the lightweight memory leak detection using the Runtime Performance Advisor.
Before you begin
If you have a memory leak and want to confirm the leak, or you want to automatically generate heap dumps on Java virtual machines (JVM) in WebSphere Application Server, consider changing your minimum and maximum heap sizes to be equal. This change provides the memory leak detection more time for reliable diagnosis.Why and when to perform this task
To enable the lightweight memory leak detection using the Runtime Performance Advisor, perform the following steps in the administrative console:Steps for this task
Result
The memory leak detection advice is enabled.Important: To achieve the best results for performance tuning, enable the Runtime Performance Advisor when a stable production level load is running.
What to do next
You can monitor any notifications of memory leaks by checking the SystemOut.log file or Runtime Messages. For more information, see the Viewing the Runtime Performance Advisor recommendations topic.Related informationUnderstanding the lightweight memory leak detection
