monitor

displays monitoring data for commonly used components and services

Synopsis

monitor [--help] 
--type type 
[--filename filename] 
[--interval interval] 
[--filter filter] 
instance-name

Description

The monitor subcommand displays statistics for commonly monitored GlassFish Server components and services. The --type option must be used to specify the object for which statistics are to be displayed. Data is displayed continuously in a tabular form, or the data can be displayed at a particular time interval by using the --interval option.

Before a given component or service can be monitored, monitoring must be enabled (set to HIGH or LOW) for the component or service by using the Administration Console, the enable-monitoring subcommand, or the set subcommand.

The monitor subcommand has options for filtering the results and capturing the output in a Comma Separated Values (CSV) file. The output appears in a table format. To view the legend of the table header, type h.

This subcommand is supported in local mode only.

Options

--help
-?

Displays the help text for the subcommand.

--type

The component or service to monitor. This option is required. No default value is defined.

httplistener

For this type, the attribute server.monitoring-service.module-monitoring-levels.http-service must be set to LOW or HIGH.

Displays the following statistics for the HTTP listener service:

ec

The total number errors in the processing of HTTP requests.

mt

The longest response time (in milliseconds) for the processing of a single HTTP request.

pt

The total amount of time (in milliseconds) that the HTTP listener service has spent in processing HTTP requests.

rc

The total number of requests that the HTTP listener service has processed.

jvm

For this type, the attribute server.server-config.monitoring-service.module-monitoring-levels.jvm must be set to LOW or HIGH.

Displays the following statistics for the Virtual Machine for the Java platform (Java Virtual Machine or JVM machine):Foot 2 

UpTime

The number of milliseconds that the JVM machine has been running since it was last started.

min

The initial amount of memory (in bytes) that the JVM machine requests from the operating system for memory management during startup.

max

The maximum amount of memory that can be used for memory management.

low

Retained for compatibility with other releases.

high

Retained for compatibility with other releases.

count

The amount of memory (in bytes) that is guaranteed to be available for use by the JVM machine.

webmodule

For this type, the attribute server.server-config.monitoring-service.module-monitoring-levels.web-container must be set to LOW or HIGH.

Displays the following statistics for all deployed web modules:

asc

The number of currently active sessions.

ast

The total number of sessions that are currently active or have been active previously.

rst

The total number of rejected sessions.

st

The total number of sessions that have been created.

ajlc

The number of currently active JavaServer Pages ( JSP) technology pages that are loaded.

mjlc

The maximum number of JSP technology pages that were active at any time simultaneously.

tjlc

Total number of JSP technology pages that have been loaded.

aslc

The number of currently active Java servlets that are loaded.

mslc

The maximum number of Java servlets that were active at any time simultaneously.

tslc

The total number of Java servlets that have been loaded.

--filename

Do not specify this option. This option is retained for compatibility with earlier releases. If you specify this option, a syntax error does not occur. Instead, the subcommand runs successfully and displays a warning message that the option is ignored.

--interval

The interval in seconds before capturing monitoring attributes. The interval must be greater than 0. The monitoring attributes are displayed on stdout until you type Control-C or q. The default value is 30.

--filter

Do not specify this option. This option is retained for compatibility with earlier releases. If you specify this option, a syntax error does not occur. Instead, the subcommand runs successfully and displays a warning message that the option is ignored.

Operands

instance-name

The server instance for which to view monitoring data. The default value is server.

Examples

Example 1   Displaying Monitoring Statistics by Interval

This example displays monitoring data for the JVM machine every 2000 seconds.

asadmin> monitor --type=jvm --interval 2000 server
                               JVM Monitoring
UpTime(ms)                          Heap and NonHeap Memory(bytes)          
current                   min        max        low        high       count     
957843                    29523968   188284928  0          0          60370944  

q
Command monitor executed successfully.
Example 2   Filtering the Monitoring Data

This example uses the filter option to show http-listener-1 statistics.

asadmin> monitor --type httplistener --filter http-listener-1 server
