These properties make the Java Mission Control tools uniquely positioned to be used on systems running in production. The recordings only give you a 2 overhead on the performance of your application server and collect a lot of useful data such as heap usage, CPU usage and (with the correct plugins enabled) even some Weblogic. JRockit already offered you the possibility to record events at the JVM level and analyse them with a tool called Mission Control.
Starting from JDK 7 u40, Java Mission This is because a potential use case for the memleak server is to optionally be able to start.Another customer that I’ve been working with more recently has suggested either Wily or Oracle JRockit Mission Control (JRMC) as monitoring solutions. Starting a JRA-style time-bound recording is quite similar to how it was done in previous JRockit versions, using JRAsimply right click on the. All in all, it’s a very useful tool that I wouldn’t like to be without.Flight Recorder in JRockit Mission Control The easiest way to both control the life cycle of recordings and transfer whole or parts of recordings to JRockit.The easiest way to both control the life cycle of recordings and transfer whole or parts of recordings to JRockit Mission Control, is to do everything from inside the JRockit Mission Control client. The current version of JRockit Mission Control contains three powerful tools:In particular, we use Wily to monitor the throughput and response time of our ‘front ends’ (servlets, EJBs etc), the ‘back end’ (JDBC calls) as well as keeping an eye on key JMX metrics such as the number of messages in JMS queues and the behaviour of the heap and garbage collector.
I like the ‘wait events’ profiling – this seems rather similar to what an Oracle AWR report shows in the database… it remains to be seen whether it proves as useful in the Java tier. Probably a better tool for general profiling when you’re not sure where a performance issue might be It’s much easier to get a copy of JRMC than Wily I wouldn’t claim that it’s a comprehensive comparison, so please forgive any errors or omissions. I decided to try to figure out how it stacked up against Wily.This post is about my first impressions of JRMC and its suitability for my own needs.
If I had to choose between them I’d probably stick with Wily for production system monitoring and possibly go for JRMC for monitoring performance tests. Wily does a better job of monitoring a production system and historical trend reporting.My first choice would be to have both tools available.
