Now you can open the file with JRockit Mission Control
To dump on OutOfMemoryException:
-XX:+FlightRecordingDumpOnUnhandledException
To specify a settings file (more than 1 is possible):
-XX:FlightRecorderOptions=settings=s1.jfs,settings=s2.jfs
To start recording:
jrcmd
In JROCKIT_HOME\jre\lib\jfr\default.jfs you find an example of settings.
Non-Persistent (profiling data are kept im memory only) is the default storage mode. Typically max 1 minute of history.
