Memory consumed by a thread

Question

I need to monitor the amount of memory consumed by threads spawned by my application. The idea is to take corrective actions, if a greedy thread consumes too much of memory.

Answer 1

Java VisualVM can be used "to monitor a local application and view real-time, high-level data on the memory heap, thread activity, and the classes loaded in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). Monitoring an application imposes low overhead and can be used for extended periods."
