Beyond top(1) Command-Line Monitoring on the JVM Colin Jones @trptcolin

None
What to expect
command-line tooling
on the JVM
introspection & serviceability
--all-flags=false
war stories
real-life usage (well, re-enacted anyway)
A long time ago in a software shop far, far
away…
Things are going pretty well
What does this thing look like? app-architecture Postgres Web /
API Application Server Load Balancer Periodic Job Application Server 3rd-party Service A 3rd-party Service B Monitored email account End users: native mobile app Admin users: desktop browsers
But strange things are afoot
the server sometimes gets really slow
the team has to manually restart the application server
incident response time is ~5 minutes
Yes, strange things are afoot
Pain, frustration, anger
Just the facts
sometimes, things get slow
all requests seem to be affected
the JVM stays up
restart the JVM and everything is fine
What could it be?
Demo
More facts, please!
constant full GCs
what’s in the heap
what application code was running
The right tools for the job
vmstat system-level: CPU, memory, disk, context switching
top per-process: CPU & memory
jps what’s our PID?
jstack status of all threads (right now-ish!)
jcmd what can’t it do?! jcmd [PID] help (sorry, JVM
6 users: see jinfo/jmap/jstack)
jstat GC classloader compiler
Mystery solved!
Now “just” fix it
idea 1: eliminate the leak
idea 2: eliminate the cache altogether?
idea 3: delete the feature
idea 4: full-text search engine
So we’re good now… until the next incident
Lessons
“it’s slow” could mean lots of things
“high CPU” could mean lots of things
collecting data is crucial in a crisis
reproducing the issue helps me sleep at night
Other “right tools for the job”
Heap analyzers
Profilers
Constant monitoring & alerting
Dynamic tracing
Learning more
Books
operators are standing by! man jstat man jstack jcmd [PID]
help [COMMAND] etc.
Thank you! Colin Jones @trptcolin 8th Light
