java性能监控工具jstat

jstat

Monitors Java Virtual Machine (JVM) statistics. This command is experimental and unsupported.

Synopsis

jstat [ generalOption | outputOptions vmid [ interval[s|ms] [ count ] ]

generalOption

A single general command-line option -help or -options. See General Options.

outputOptions

One or more output options that consist of a single statOption, plus any of the -t, -h, and -J options. See Output Options.

vmid

Virtual machine identifier, which is a string that indicates the target JVM. The general syntax is the following:

[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname[:port]/servername]

The syntax of the vmid string corresponds to the syntax of a URI. The vmid string can vary from a simple integer that represents a local JVM to a more complex construction that specifies a communications protocol, port number, and other implementation-specific values. See Virtual Machine Identifier.

interval [s|ms]

Sampling interval in the specified units, seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms). Default units are milliseconds. Must be a positive integer. When specified, the jstat command produces its output at each interval.

count

Number of samples to display. The default value is infinity which causes the jstat command to display statistics until the target JVM terminates or the jstat command is terminated. This value must be a positive integer.

Description

The jstat command displays performance statistics for an instrumented Java HotSpot VM. The target JVM is identified by its virtual machine identifier, or vmid option.

Virtual Machine Identifier

The syntax of the vmid string corresponds to the syntax of a URI:

[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname[:port]/servername]

protocol

The communications protocol. If the protocol value is omitted and a host name is not specified, then the default protocol is a platform-specific optimized local protocol. If the protocol value is omitted and a host name is specified, then the default protocol isrmi.

lvmid

The local virtual machine identifier for the target JVM. The lvmid is a platform-specific value that uniquely identifies a JVM on a system. The lvmid is the only required component of a virtual machine identifier. The lvmid is typically, but not necessarily, the operating system‘s process identifier for the target JVM process. You can use the jps command to determine the lvmid. Also, you can determine the lvmid on Solaris, Linux, and OS X platforms with the ps command, and on Windows with the Windows Task Manager.

hostname

A hostname or IP address that indicates the target host. If the hostname value is omitted, then the target host is the local host.

port

The default port for communicating with the remote server. If the hostname value is omitted or the protocol value specifies an optimized, local protocol, then the port value is ignored. Otherwise, treatment of the port parameter is implementation-specific. For the default rmi protocol, the port value indicates the port number for the rmiregistry on the remote host. If the port value is omitted and the protocol value indicates rmi, then the default rmiregistry port (1099) is used.

servername

The treatment of the servername parameter depends on implementation. For the optimized local protocol, this field is ignored. For the rmi protocol, it represents the name of the RMI remote object on the remote host.

Options

The jstat command supports two types of options, general options and output options. General options cause the jstat command to display simple usage and version information. Output options determine the content and format of the statistical output.

All options and their functionality are subject to change or removal in future releases.

General Options

If you specify one of the general options, then you cannot specify any other option or parameter.

-help

Displays a help message.

-options

Displays a list of static options. See Output Options.

Output Options

If you do not specify a general option, then you can specify output options. Output options determine the content and format of the jstat command‘s output, and consist of a single statOption, plus any of the other output options (-h, -t, and -J). ThestatOption must come first.

Output is formatted as a table, with columns that are separated by spaces. A header row with titles describes the columns. Use the -h option to set the frequency at which the header is displayed. Column header names are consistent among the different options. In general, if two options provide a column with the same name, then the data source for the two columns is the same.

Use the -t option to display a time stamp column, labeled Timestamp as the first column of output. The Timestamp column contains the elapsed time, in seconds, since the target JVM started. The resolution of the time stamp is dependent on various factors and is subject to variation due to delayed thread scheduling on heavily loaded systems.

Use the interval and count parameters to determine how frequently and how many times, respectively, the jstat command displays its output.

Note: Do not to write scripts to parse the jstat command‘s output because the format might change in future releases. If you write scripts that parse jstat command output, then expect to modify them for future releases of this tool.

Examples

This section presents some examples of monitoring a local JVM with an lvmid of 21891.

The gcutil Option

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 7 samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by the -gcutil option.

The output of this example shows that a young generation collection occurred between the third and fourth sample. The collection took 0.078 seconds and promoted objects from the eden space (E) to the old space (O), resulting in an increase of old space utilization from 66.80% to 68.19%. Before the collection, the survivor space was 97.02% utilized, but after this collection it is 91.03% utilized.

Repeat the Column Header String

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by -gcnew option. In addition, it uses the -h3 option to output the column header after every 3 lines of data.

In addition to showing the repeating header string, this example shows that between the second and third samples, a young GC occurred. Its duration was 0.001 seconds. The collection found enough active data that the survivor space 0 utilization (S0U) would have exceeded the desired survivor Size (DSS). As a result, objects were promoted to the old generation (not visible in this output), and the tenuring threshold (TT) was lowered from 31 to 2.

Another collection occurs between the fifth and sixth samples. This collection found very few survivors and returned the tenuring threshold to 31.

Include a Time Stamp for Each Sample

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 3 samples at 250 millisecond intervals. The -t option is used to generate a time stamp for each sample in the first column.

The Timestamp column reports the elapsed time in seconds since the start of the target JVM. In addition, the -gcoldcapacity output shows the old generation capacity (OGC) and the old space capacity (OC) increasing as the heap expands to meet allocation or promotion demands. The old generation capacity (OGC) has grown from 11,696 kB to 13,820 kB after the eighty-first full garbage collection (FGC). The maximum capacity of the generation (and space) is 60,544 kB (OGCMX), so it still has room to expand.

Monitor Instrumentation for a Remote JVM

This example attaches to lvmid 40496 on the system named remote.domain using the -gcutil option, with samples taken every second indefinitely.

The lvmid is combined with the name of the remote host to construct a vmid of [email protected]. This vmid results in the use of the rmi protocol to communicate to the default jstatd server on the remote host. The jstatd server is located using thermiregistry command on remote.domain that is bound to the default port of the rmiregistry command (port 1099).
