<div dir="ltr"><br> For Drools 4.0.x we eventually run profiling tools to make sure we got not leak.

We used two approaches to double check results.<br>
At first we used an approach similiar to what you haved described. Please note that (depneding on platfom) freeMemory is not byte- exact). Wo you won't see little changes.<br>
Also, if you were using stateless sessions the result you have seen may be correct.<br>
<br>
Out other approach was to seriazie that parts we're instrested in (and assume that real memory usage is just an small factor to be applied to the result we go.<br>
We then compared the two results and they agreed on the order of magnitude which was what were looking for.<br>
However we were primarily looking at Rulebase sizes, not WM memory consumption - which for the application we are currently are working on is neglegctible.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Do you expect an incremental memory usage (aka memory leak) using Drools? I don't ;-)<br>
You may want to run your use-case let's say 100.000 times to easiert to measure results.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Has anyone attempted to measure the incremental memory usage of using<br>
Drools? Anyone cares to share their methodology?<br>
<br>
I am currently following the following methodology:<br>
1. Prevent garbage collection from happening by using large Xms Xmx (1024m<br>
in my case), a NewRatio of 2 (I am sure other sizes will work as well) and<br>
verbogegc enabled to confirm that no garbage collection is happening.<br>
2. Use Runtime.freeMemory before and after fireAllRules and measuring the<br>
difference.<br>
<br>
The problem with my methods so far has been that after a positive memory<br>
usage (indicating you are using memory), subsequent use case (the same one)<br>
incurs zero memory usage which is very strange.<br>
<br>
So I guess my question is 2 fold: anyone care to share their methodology,<br>
and can anyone see what's wrong with mine?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Roger<br></div></div>
