Last updated on JANUARY 15, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 12.2.1.0.0 and later
Microsoft Windows x64 (64-bit) - Version: 2008 R2

Goal

Why is the Maximum Heap shown in Visual VM different from the Maximum Heap shows in JConsole?  

Details:

Weblogic Server 12.2.1.0.0 and Java 8, and set the below Java Memory Arguments :
USER_MEM_ARGS=-Xms256m -Xmx1024m %MEM_DEV_ARGS% %MEM_MAX_PERM_SIZE%

VisualVM is showing 2,147,483,680B as Maximum Heap Size when Maximum heap size is set to 1 MB

Visual VM is showing this Maximum as 2,147,483,680 B/1024 = 2,097,152.03125 KB /1024=2048 MB
JConsole is showing this Maximum as 1,048,576 KB /1024 = 1024 MB
