JMeter OutOfMemoryError

Question

I am facing below OutOfMemor errors, and JMeter stops working....

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space Dumping heap to
    java_pid4412.hprof ... Heap         


        

Answer 1

I also had this problem and it did not matter how much I adjusted the configuration java -Xms -Xmx, as I always ran out of memory. In the end I found out that running JMeter in GUI mode (especially with listeners) causes a bottleneck. The best way to use JMeter, especially for extended testing or running multiple slave servers, is in non-GUI mode, which looks something like this:

jmeter -n -t testplan.jmx -r

Check out this link and read how to do remote testing the proper way: http://wiki.apache.org/jmeter/JMeterFAQ#How_to_do_remote_testing_the_.27proper_way.27.3F. Read the section on remote testing the 'proper way'.

Hope this helps.
