2. JVM diagnostic interfaces
• JMX
• JVMTI – native API only
• Attach API
 Ad hoc instrumentation
 and more
• Perf counters
• Heap dump

3. MBeans: threading
 CPU usage per thread (user / sys)
 Memory allocation per thread
 Block / wait times
 Should be enabled
 Stack traces
Invaluable

7. JVM Attach API
• List JVM processes
• Attach to JVM by PID
• Send control commands
 heap dump / histogram
 stack dump
• Inspect system properties and VM options
• Launch instrumentation agents
https://github.com/gridkit/jvm-attach

8. SJK: hh --dead
Dead object histogram
 Similar to jmap –histo
 Invoke jmap –histo two time
 all heap objects
 live heap object
 calculates difference
 Can show top N rows

10. SJK: jps
JDK’s jps on steroid
 Uses attach API
 Lists VMs
 Filtering by JVM system properties
 Prints property values
 Prints effective –XX options

12. Perf counters
 Based on shared memory
 safe for target JVM
 Flat data model
 misc JVM counters
 true GC CPU usage data
 you can add own counter programmatically

13. Stack Trace Sampling
Capture
• Dump stack traces via local connection
• Store in highly compressed dump
Analysis
• Frame frequency
• Conditional frame frequency
• Traces classification histogram

15. Working with heap dumps
Java API to traverse heap dump object graph
Available at https://github.com/aragozin/jvm-tools/tree/master/hprof-heap
 Based on NetBeans profiler library
 No temporary files used
 Fixed generic method signatures
 Improved performance
Useful for
 In-place processing of large heap dumps
 Write domain specific heap usage reports

16. SJK Summary
Visit https://github.com/aragozin/jvm-tools
 Single executable JAR
 Command line interface
 Exploits JMX / Attach API / PerfCounters
 Simple sampling profiler included
 Extensible commands
Write commands for your own application

17. BTrace
Visit https://kenai.com/projects/btrace
Instrumentation profiling
 Inject code snippets written in Java
 CLI or Java API to use
 Extendible
