Analyzing Java Applications on the Fly with Arthas

Wednesday, October 31st, 2018

Arthas created by Alibaba is a tool that allows developers to connect to running Java applications without stopping them or suspending threads for debugging the application from the console.

It offers features like monitoring invocation statistics, searching for classes and methods in the classloaders, view method invocation details (like parameters), show the stack trace of a method invocation, monitor system metrics and others.

In the following examples I’m going to demonstrate some of these features applied to a running web application.

Java EE 7 JMX Reports with Yammer Metrics

Tuesday, August 26th, 2014

There are several ways to aggregate and report application performance indicators in a Java application. One common way here is to use Java Management Extensions (JMX) and MBeans.

The Yammer Metrics Library eases this task for us and simplifies the aggregation of different reports.

In the following tutorial, we’re going to set up a full Java EE 7 web application by the help of Maven archetypes and we’re running the application on WildFly application server that is downloaded and configured completely by the WildFly Maven Plugin.

Finally our application is going to use the Java API for JSON Processing to parse lists of public repositories from the Bitbucket REST API to aggregate different reports, exported via JMX so that we’re finally able to view these reports with jconsole or jmeter.
