How can I monitor memory usage of my Tomcat/JVM?

VM Host custom Java Control Panel offers graphing of basic JVM parameters. You need to enable 'monitor' attribute in your JCP and wait a 5 minutes before graphs fill with data. On `'tats' page you can select different graphing periods. See example graph below.

Example JVM memeory usage graph
To closer analyze a Java process memory usage (realtime data) you can use JConsole (part of JDK). Append the below line

-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.port=AFREEPORTNUMBER \
-Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.ssl=false -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote.authenticate=false

to JAVA_OPTS in ~/appservers/apache-tomcat/bin/catalina.sh then restart Tomcat and connect with JConsole giving remote address and port:

jconsole HOSTING_SERVER_IP:JMX_PORT

You will be able to monitor live threads and loaded classes number, CPU usage and memory usage for the below memory parts:

JVM Heap memory elements JVM Non-Heap memory parts
Eden Space: The pool from which memory is initially allocated for most objects. Permanent Generation: The pool containing all the reflective data of the virtual machine itself, such as class and method objects. With Java VMs that use class data sharing, this generation is divided into read-only and read-write areas.
Survivor Space: The pool containing objects that have survived the garbage collection of the Eden space. This space is divided to 'From Space' and 'To Space' (for example in jmap output). Code Cache: The HotSpot Java VM also includes a code cache, containing memory that is used for compilation and storage of native code.
Tenured Generation/PS Old Gen: The pool containing objects that have existed for some time in the survivor space.

Below diagram illustrates JVM memory parts and JVM (java) related command line switches used to preset/limit some of them. JVM (java) memory diagram
At JVM Host you can enable JMX via JCP. You can also check what port is assigned for JMX access in the panel. For more details on JXM and JConsole see:

Other useful tools: jvisualvm – Java Virtual Machine Monitoring, Troubleshooting, and Profiling Tool Thread Dump analyzer and its documentation IBM Thread and Monitor Dump Analyzer for Java

 

Before start it. We need the password file for Jconsole
cp /usr/local/jdk/jre1.8.0_112/lib/management/jmxremote.password.template  /usr/local/jdk/jre1.8.0_112/lib/management/jmxremote.password
chmod 700 /usr/local/jdk/jre1.8.0_112/lib/management/jmxremote.password

vi /usr/local/jdk/jre1.8.0_112/lib/management/jmxremote.password # for comment out
monitorRole  QED

    How to migrate Raspberry Pi 5 OS from micro SD to NVME m.2 SSD

    首先我買了Raspberry Pi CM5後來買了Raspberry Pi CM5 I/O board來當個人電腦使用,系統是安裝在256GB SD卡上運行的很好。用久了在開啟較肥的程式像Web Browser或LiberOffice會有慢半拍的反應,而有了升級NVME m.2 SSD念頭。 因為Raspberry Pi 5支援的最快PCIe gen3 x 4就不去考慮快的Gen4 or Gen5 m.2 SSD。找了ADATA出的 LEGEND 710入門級的產品,會利用HMB(Host Memory Buffer)來加速I/O速度,因為是Raspberry Pi OS kernel會認不得而無法正常使用 事先在SD卡的/boot/firmware/cmdline.txt 加入 kernel command line參數如下,然後重開機m.

    如何在Raspberry Pi4上安裝Proxmox for ARM64

    第一步 準備好Raspberry Pi 4 / CM4 4GB RAM,這裡要留意CM4如果是買有內建eMMC storage會限制不能使用SD卡開機而限制本地空間容量,如果沒有NAS外接空間或使用USB開機的話,建議買CM4 Lite插上大容量SD卡 第二步 去Armbian官網下載最小化Debian bookworm image https://www.armbian.com/rpi4b/ Armbian 25.2.2 Bookworm Minimal / IOT 然後寫入SD/USB開機碟,寫入方法參考官方文件 https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/blob/master/Readme.md Note: 官方提供的預先設定系統方法,可以在Armbian初次啟動自動化完成系統設定。連結在此 https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Autoconfig/

    世界越快心越慢

    在晚飯後的休息時間,我特別享受在客廳瀏灠youtube上各樣各式創作者的影音作品。很大不同於傳統媒體,節目多是針對大多數族群喜好挑選的,在youtube上我會依心情看無腦的動畫、一些旅拍記錄、新聞時事談論。 尤其在看了大量的Youtube的分享後,我真的感受到會限制我的是我的無知,特別是那些我想都沒想過的實際應用,在學習後大大幫助到我的生活和工作層面。 休息在家時,我喜歡想一些沒做過的菜,動手去設計生活和工作上的解決方案,自己是真的很難閒著沒事做。 如創作文章,陪養新的習慣都能感覺到成長的喜悅,是不同於吃喝玩樂的快樂的。 創作不去限制固定的形式,文字是創作、影像聲音也是創作,記錄生活也是創作,我想留下的就是創造—》實現—》回憶,這樣子的循環過程,在留下的足跡面看到自己一路上的成長、失敗、絕望、重新再來。 雖然大部份的時候去做這些創作也不明白有什麼特別的意義,但不去做也不會留下什麼,所以呀不如反事都去試試看,也許能有不一樣的水花也許有意想不到的結果,投資自己永遠不會是失敗的決定,不是嗎?先問問自己再開始計畫下一步,未來沒人說得準。 像最近看youtube仍大一群人在為DOS開
