AEM CQ 56 - Useful Tips For Debugging

A very useful document, but lists commands on UNIX, if you are on windows

1) To check the number of sessions held in memory ( read this article for more detailed analysis on dealing with unclosed sessions ), in windows, get CQ process id

Run the jmap command of jvm

                               jmap -histo:live <<pid>> | findstr CRXSessionImpl

2) To generate and check thread dumps, either use Threads tab of CQ5 Web Console http://localhost:4502/system/console or Jstack

Run the jstack command of jvm

                       jstack <<pid>> | findstr cq
