ĭownload the library for linux platform –ĭownload the mac version of the UI application (whose link looks like this at the point of writing this wiki: ) So, my JDK home echo looks like lib]# echo $JAVAHOME /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_38 Yourkit install instructions for JVM in a remote Unix based machine:ĭownload yourkit libraries from online. Also, just to avoid unnecessary jdk differences, try to keep the versions of the JVM’s version being monitored and the JDK used for yourkit in the same version. My JAVAHOME points to a 1.6 JDK which is 64bit. Yourkit agent library needs a tools.jar in the JDK path which is not available in the JRE installations.). So if see an error as below it means that the JAVAHOME is not a jdk bin]# bash yjp.sh Picked up JAVATOOLOPTIONS:Ĭannot start the profiler UI: display is not available on this machine. Make sure the JAVAHOME points to a JDK installation(not a JRE). Scribe of yourkit installation instructions: For instance adding a CPU method level tracing for CPU utilization(available on Yourkit UI) adds more overhead than just running thread tracing alone. So, be aware of the level of instrumentation could in itself add performance overhead. Profilers work by adding runtime instrumentation of counters and run aggregation stats on the top of them. Still that might not give what is the accurate visual representation of the application health is like or might not give enough data on the application performance. You could use the application logging for this if the application had done some good performance logging. So, Java profilers are great tools that can help you get more insight or accurate measurement! So you think performance then it comes down to accurate measurements and observations. Profilers are a parallel to x-ray machines to the human body health check! Or you just want to understand the performance characteristics of your application so that you give a documentation on the limits on your application. There are probably a few queries which you think could be slow that make the application look really slow performing for most of its code paths. But you have no visibility if this is a thread starvation issue or not. You are not sure which new code or hashmap holding a few references is the culprit.Įvery resource seems abundant but your application still seems stalling or dragging or stuck in corner case code paths. Is working great but goes slowly into an out of memory. And you are not sure at what time in the night. Is working but goes into a out of memory after a few hours/days/ or on a random spikiness. Java application is not responding or is slower after the last code drop. If you have worked with any sort of JVM runtime, you have probably familiar with one or more of the following: This page is a scribe of all things I know and do related to Java performance profiling.
