we are on jbase 5.8/6.3, rhel 8.3.  We occasionally have jbase_agent processes that are hung when doing top in linux.  Sometimes several a day.  They will be using 100% cpu.  They could possibly be in a loop, but don't know.  The are not tied to any port in a listu.  How can I determine what those processes are doing?  Is there like a where command for process instead of port?

In a nut shell, some (usually network based) request is coming into your jbase_agent listener which results in a child process (worker thread). 

There is/was a bug with jbase_agent worker threads not being cleaned up under certain circumstances. I was under the impression this was fixed in 5.8.7.

Just to confirm, this is still happening on 5.8/6.3

Typically we will see them and they go away quickly there are currently 6 hung.  Is there a way to find out what initiated them?

You could stop and restart your jbase_agent with logging (to a file) and try to find the request(s). This may be needles in haystacks if you have a lot going on.

If when you find the culprit you could run a separate jbase_agent in foreground (using a different port) and even potentially debug if you have a version that supports that (and assuming it’s a REST type client app).

jbase_agent -d -JD {remaining options….}

With the above you can also do remote debugging with -JR

Having said that it might not be
