To perform an unattended installation, execute the installer with the -q command line argument. To set licensing information in that case, pass -Vjprofiler.licenseKey=[license key] -Vjprofiler.licenseName=[user name] and optionally -Vjprofiler.licenseCompany=[company name] as command line arguments. If you have a floating license, please use FLOAT:[server name or IP address] instead of the license key. A console installer mode is also available if you pass the -c command line argument.
You may install a new version of JProfiler on top of an older version. Your configuration will not be lost. JProfiler automatically imports settings from previous major versions. You can install different major versions of JProfiler side by side.
How do we hold tomcat startup until jprofiler connect? I wanted to see how CPU is changing during tomcat startup. But when I connect to the tomcat process using jprofiler, tomcat startup is finished.
about the Xrunjprofiler parameter, as far as I can see in the link you provided this points to a .dll file in jprofiler library, is there no need for additional specification of where the file is located?
As a prerequisite for this analysis, we need performance profiling data gathered by a profiler. A profiler will be integrated into the runtime environment (e. g. Java Virtual Machine) of your application and measures diverse properties like method execution time, number of web service calls, executed SQL statements etc. Additionally, we need something that uses or clicks through our application to get some numbers. In my case, I run the Spring PetClinic performance test using JMeter.
At this point, I want to thank ej-technologies for providing me with a [free open-source license]( -technologies.com/buy/jprofiler/openSource) for JProfiler that enables this blog post in exchange of mentioning their product:
What we usually need for performance analysis is a recorded runtime stack of all method calls as a call tree. A call tree shows you a tree of the called methods. Below, you can see the call tree for the called methods with their measured CPU wall clock time (aka the real time that is spent in that method) and the number of invocations for a complete test run:
I want to show you the data from the database in a more nicer way. So, we load our main libraries and initialize the connection to Neo4j database by creating a Graph object (for more details on this have a look at this blog post)
As seen in the picture with the huge graph above, each node refers to the further s, that call the hotspots. In our case, these nodes are the methods in our application that are responsible for the executions of the SQL statements.
Before executing the first statements, we clean up any preexisting data from previous queries. This is only necessary when you execute this notebook several times on the same data store (like me). It makes the results repeatable and thus more reproducible (a property we should generally strive for!).
This open source icon is named "jprofiler" and is licensed under the open source GPL v3 license. It's available to be downloaded in SVG and PNG formats (available in 256, 512, 1024 and 2048 PNG sizes).
It's part of the icon set "La Capitaine Icon Theme", which has 3,646 icons in it.
If you need this icon available in another format, it should be pretty straight forward to download it as an SVG image file, and then import it into apps like Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, RelayThat or Sketch. Converting it to an ICO, JPEG or WebP image format or file type should also be pretty simple (we hope to add that feature to Iconduck soon).
This icon can be used for both Personal & Commercial purposes and projects, but please check the license to see if the designer is requesting attribution (for example, a link back to their website).
The minium Profiler uses the JProfiler framework to collect and manage all the information concerning the performance of the minium Runtime, so you must download it before starting any profiling tests.Besides reading the documentation present in this page, also consider consulting the JProfiler documentation whenever you have a doubt which isn't covered here.
To run an application along with the JProfiler, you must add a few flags before executing the 'java' command, namely the '-agentpath' and '-Djprofiler.probeProvider', as described in the example bellow for Linux 32-bit:
The profiler package contains two types of classes. The first type concerns the classes which were only created to make the process of collecting the profiling information easier. Then, in the second type, we can include all the classes that are strictly required by the JProfiler to perform its activity. The first two classes present in this text belong tot he first type, while the other three fall in the second category.
This class was created so we could statically refer the scheduler and the graph. This extra step is necessary because the JProfiler classes must use a fixed constructor and are initialized by the JProfiler itself. Therefore, we couldn't pass, for instance, the Runtime as an argument to the probe providers.To accomplish this goal, the class AeminiumProfiler is initialized by the Runtime at start time and whenever JProfiler needs to collect data from the scheduler or the graph, it simply has to pick the AeminiumProfiler's references. In order to avoid null values (if the JProfiler starts sampling before the Runtime is fully ready), it's wise to always double check the contents of the references.
The DataCollection works like a structure that will hold all the variables to profile. At each measurement, the JProfiler passes an instance of this class to the scheduler and then to the graph, being these two components responsible for filling the fields that are related to them.Therefore, DataCollection contains the following variables:
We may have more than one non-blocking queue, and hence the array for this variable.In most cases, we will also have more than a single working thread. Besides it, there are three different types of tasks too, namely Atomic, Non-blocking and Blocking tasks. Due to this two conditions, we need a matrix to store all the information about how many tasks were handled by each thread.
AeminiumProbeProvider is a simple class that let's JProfiler know which are the probe classes present in the project that are going to be used for profiling. It merely contains a method, getProbes(), which return an array with the necessary probe classes. In the minium Runtime, those will be CountersProbe and TaskDetailsProbe, discussed right away.
The CounterProbe is responsible for monitoring the global task activity for the scheduler and graph. By global task activity, we mean, for example, the number of completed tasks or how many tasks marked as running at a given moment.
The variables to collect are defined in the method getMetaData(). The first group of variables correspond to the sum of the values of all the active threads. Then, you have a second group, which is defined inside the following 'for' cycle:
Our Profiler uses JProfiler method interception for controlling the time every task spend at each state. We take advantage of the fact that tasks change theirs state at the beginning of a method (for example, the task turns into the state RUNNING when the method invoke() is called), and so, we only intercept method entrances.
Firstly, we need to define all the method to intercept at the getInterceptionMethods(). As stated in the JProfiler API Javadocs, for the class InterceptionMethod, it is used the JVM's representation of type signatures for both argument type and return type.
Once you have defined all the methods to be intercepted, it's time to handle them at the interceptionEnter(). As said before, we can do all the work by only intercepting the entries, and therefore, we leave the interceptionExit() untouched.
Let's now take a look at the interception mechanism. To achieve the time measuring, we use a systematic and quite simple procedure, which is aided by auxiliary hashtables, one for each state a task can assume. The hashtables will hold payloads, which save the time of their creation.
At the entry of a method, we have two states to consider. The one a thread has at the moment, the old state, and another, which is the state this task will change to. We get the payload from the old state's hashtable, passing it to the InterceptorContext, which will calculate the difference between the creation time and the current time. This will define the time this task has spent at a that state.When this is done, a new payload info must be created and stored in the corresponding hashtable, so the next method interception can use it as described in the previous paragraph. This second step marks the starting time of the new state.
Naturally, this procedure is different for the methods addTask() and taskCompleted(), as they correspond to the beginning of the first useful state (WAITING_FOR_DEPENDENCIES) and the end of the last (WAITING_FOR_CHILDREN). For them, we can only insert a new payload info or remove it from the hashtable.
