java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space when Parsing log file

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hi,

I’m trying to build a custom protocol for gatling, and with my trivial ChainableAction implementation i get OOM

for the moment i simplified my action to just a Thread.sleep

case class TellAction(actor:ActorRef, message: Any, waitOn: Future[Any], actionName: String, override val next: Action, stats: StatsEngine)
  extends ChainableAction {

  override def name: String = actionName

  override def execute(session: Session): Unit = {

    println(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sent message")
    val start = System.nanoTime() / 1000000
    Thread.sleep(300)
    val end = System.nanoTime() / 1000000
    stats.logResponse(session, actionName, start, end, OK, None, None)
    println("---------------------------------------- " + next.name)
    next ! session
  }

I run gatling with

jvmArgs = ['-Xms16000M', '-Xmx16000M', '-XX:+UseThreadPriorities', '-XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError' ]

via the gatling gradle plugin (GitHub - lkishalmi/gradle-gatling-plugin: Gatling Plugin for Gradle)

given the above, i see in the console:
