  5. Demos, walk-through • Internals • Future Agenda

  6. DEMO

  7. Demos, walk-through • Internals • Future Agenda

  8. Remote access • JMX • jvisualvm, jconsole • Access information from java.lang.managementMBeans • SSL and authentication • Enable startup: -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote • Enable runtime: jcmdManagementServer.start • jstatd • Daemon that runs on remote machine • jstat can connect to daemon New!

  9. Discovery What is running on my system? • Well-known file for each JVM • <temp>/hsperfdata_<user>/<pid> • /tmp/hsperfdata_staffan/3636 • Created on JVM startup • Deleted on JVM shutdown • Unused files deleted on startup

  10. Java Discovery Protocol JDP From freedigitalphotos.net/by digitalart

  11. Attach Talking to the JVM • Allows sending "commands" for execution in the JVM • Receive text output • Local access by same user only • Used by jcmd, jstack, jmap • Mechanics differ on platforms

  12. Attach: Linux / BSD / Solaris • Create file /tmp/.attach_pid<pid> • Send SIGQUIT to JVM • JVM looks for /tmp/.attach_pid<pid> • If not found a normal thread dump is done • JVM will create /tmp/.java_pid<pid> socket • Use socket for communication • Solaris uses door API instead of socket

  13. Attach: Windows • Remote process injects code (!) into the JVM • VirtualAllocEx / WriteProcessMemory • Remote process creates a thread in the JVM to call the code • CreateRemoteThread • The code dynamically looks up JVM_EnqueueOperation() and calls it • Reads result from a pipe

  14. Diagnostic Commands • Helper routines inside the JVM • Text output • Executed via the jcmd utility (soon JMX) • Self-describing help facility • Different set of commands for different JVM versions Coming Soon!

  15. jvmstat / PerfCounter • /tmp/hsperfdata_staffan/3636 • Contains a lot of run-time information about the JVM • Memory mapped file • Updated continuously by JVM • Use jstat to show information in readable form • Use "jcmd PerfCounter.print" to see raw contents

  16. Accessing the JVM jcmd jstack jmap jinfo Monitored JVM JMX JMX RMI j* jstat(d) jstat JMX client dcmd JVM attach jvmstat attach Mission Control VisualVM JConsole

  17. Communicating with the JVM

  18. Serviceability Agent • For core-files or non-responsive JVMs • Uses debugger to read information • Last resort - suspends process in unknown state jstack <executable> <core> jstack –F <pid>

  19. Accessing the JVM jstack jmap jinfo Monitored JVM j* JVM vmSymbols SA debugger

  20. Java Mission Control • Java Mission Control

  21. Java Flight Recorder • JVM-built-in profiler and tracer • Non-intrusive • Always-on • Circular buffers • Captures both JVM and application data • GC, Locks, Compiler, Exceptions, CPU Usage, I/O, … … • After-the-fact analysis New!

  22. Demos, walk-through • Internals • Future Agenda

  23. Future It’s soon here! • More Diagnostic Commands (jcmd) • Eventually replacing jstack, jmap, jinfo • JMX 2.0 • Improved Logging for the JVM • JEP 158 • Deprecate JConsole, hprof agent (?)

  24. Take-away • Know which tools exists • Seen the tools in use • Something new and something useful • Go and experiment with the tools! @stalar staffan.larsen@oracle.com serviceability-dev@openjdk.java.net

  25. Q&A @stalar staffan.larsen@oracle.com serviceability-dev@openjdk.java.net
