Dear Listers, Earlier this year, we provided a video on monitoring Midtier and AR System using jconsole. The jconsole tool uses JMX and is primarily for monitoring your Midtier, AR System Java plugin server, Dashboards, etc.
We've produced a new video that demonstrates how to profile memory usage using the jvisualvm tool, a hidden gem within the Java Development Toolkit. The video covers the following: * An overview of jvisualvm functions. * How to profile memory usage on the Midtier. * Take snapshots of memory usage, essential for reporting memory issues to BMC. * And for the most curious, how to examine the state of objects held in memory. The video can be found here: http://www.javasystemsolutions.com/jss/video/view/MidTier-JVisualVM Whilst the video demonstrates how to profile memory, a CPU trace can be taken by using the CPU button next to the memory button at 1m22s. jvisualvm is a superb tool and we hope this is a useful addition to your support toolkit.
