Intellij Idea v2020.3.2 doesn't have "Calculate retained size"
Answered
According to this blog https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2020/12/intellij-idea-2020-3/, and document https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/analyze-objects-in-the-jvm-heap.html#Analyze_objects_in_the_JVM_heap-8-procedure, we should be able to get retained size of the instances during debugging process.
I am using the latest version ultimate 2020.3.2, however the "Calculate retained size" is not available. See below screenshot. What is the best way to get the the retained size? Also is it possible to get the shallow size and deep size?
Thanks

No, it's not a real profiler and currently such information is not provided.
I have activated the `Attach memory agent` option for the debugger, and I still don't see the `Calculate retained size` option when I right-click a class instance in the `Memory` tab.

I'm trying to evaluate how big the object is in memory to adjust my Nginx server's `max-body-size` value to accept the request I am observing locally in my integration test.
