SYNOPSIS

jstat [ generalOption | outputOptions vmid [interval[s|ms] [count]] ]

generalOption

A single general command-line option (-help, -options, or -version)

outputOptions

One or more output options, consisting of a single  statOption, plus any of the -t, -h, and -J options.

vmid

Virtual machine identifier, a string indicating the target Java virtual machine (JVM). The general syntax is

[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname[:port]/servername]

The syntax of the vmid string largely corresponds to the syntax of a URI. The  vmid can vary from a simple integer representing a local JVM to a more complex construction specifying a communications protocol, port number, and other implementation-specific values. See  Virtual Machine Identifier for details.

interval[s|ms]

Sampling interval in the specified units, seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms). Default units are milliseconds.  Must be a positive integer.  If specified, jstat will produce its output at each interval.

count

Number of samples to display. Default value is infinity; that is,  jstat displays statistics until the target JVM terminates or the  jstat command is terminated.  Must be a positive integer.

DESCRIPTION

The jstat tool displays performance statistics for an instrumented HotSpot Java virtual machine (JVM). The target JVM is identified by its virtual machine identifier, or vmid option described below.

NOTE: This utility is unsupported and may not be available in future versions of the J2SE SDK. It is not currently available on Windows 98 and Windows ME platforms.

VIRTUAL MACHINE IDENTIFIER

The syntax of the vmid string largely corresponds to the syntax of a URI:

[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname][:port][/servername]

protocol

The communications protocol. If the  protocol is omitted and a  hostname is not specified, the default protocol is a platform specific optimized local protocol. If the  protocol is omitted and a  hostname is specified, then the default protocol is  rmi.

lvmid

The local virtual machine identifier for the target JVM. The  lvmid is a platform-specific value that uniquely identifies a JVM on a system. The  lvmid is the only required component of a virtual machine identifier. The  lvmid is typically, but not necessarily, the operating system's process identifier for the target JVM process. You can use the  jps command to determine the  lvmid. Also, you can determine  lvmid on Unix platforms with the  ps command, and on Windows with the Windows Task Manager.

hostname

A hostname or IP address indicating the target host. If  hostname is omitted, then the target host is the local host.

port

The default port for communicating with the remote server. If the  hostname is omitted or the  protocol specifies an optimized, local protocol, then  port is ignored. Otherwise, treatment of the  port parameter is implementation specific. For the default  rmi protocol, the  port indicates the port number for the rmiregistry on the remote host. If  port is omitted, and  protocol indicates  rmi, then the default rmiregistry port (1099) is used.

servername

The treatment of this parameter depends on implementation. For the optimized local protocol, this field is ignored. For the  rmi protocol, it represents the name of the RMI remote object on the remote host.

OPTIONS

The jstat command supports two types of options, general options and output options. General options cause jstat to display simple usage and version information. Output options determine the content and format of the statistical output. 

NOTE: All options, and their functionality are subject to change or removal in future releases.

 

GENERAL OPTIONS

If you specify one of the general options, you cannot specify any other option or parameter.

-help

Display help message.

-version

Display version information.

-options

Display list of statistics options. See the  Output Options section below.

OUTPUT OPTIONS

If you do not specify a general option, then you can specify output options. Output options determine the content and format of jstat's output, and consist of a single statOption, plus any of the other output options (-h, -t, and -J).  The statOption must come first.

Output is formatted as a table, with columns are separated by spaces. A header row with titles describes the columns.  Use the -h option to set the frequency at which the header is displayed.  Column header names are generally consistent between the different options. In general, if two options provide a column with the same name, then the data source for the two columns are the same.

Use the -t option to display a time stamp column, labeled Timestamp as the first column of output. The Timestamp column contains the elapsed time, in seconds, since startup of the target JVM. The resolution of the time stamp is dependent on various factors and is subject to variation due to delayed thread scheduling on heavily loaded systems.

Use the interval and count parameters to determine how frequently and how many times, respectively, jstat displays its output.

NOTE: You are advised not to write scripts to parse jstat's output since the format may change in future releases. If you choose to write scripts that parsejstat output, expect to modify them for future releases of this tool.

-statOption

Determines the statistics information that  jstat displays. The following table lists the available options.  Use the  -options general option to display the list of options for a particular platform installation.

-h  n

Display a column header every  n samples (output rows), where  n is a positive integer. Default value is 0, which displays the column header above the first row of data.

-t  n

Display a timestamp column as the first column of output. The timestamp is the the time since the start time of the target JVM.

-J javaOption

Pass  javaOption to the  java application launcher. For example,  -J-Xms48m sets the startup memory to 48 megabytes. For a complete list of options, see the following documents:

EXAMPLES

This section presents some examples of monitoring a local JVM with a lvmid of 21891.

Using the gcutil option

 

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 7 samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by the -gcutil option.

jstat -gcutil 21891 250 7
  S0     S1     E      O      P     YGC    YGCT    FGC    FGCT     GCT
 12.44   0.00  27.20   9.49  96.70    78    0.176     5    0.495    0.672
 12.44   0.00  62.16   9.49  96.70    78    0.176     5    0.495    0.672
 12.44   0.00  83.97   9.49  96.70    78    0.176     5    0.495    0.672
  0.00   7.74   0.00   9.51  96.70    79    0.177     5    0.495    0.673
  0.00   7.74  23.37   9.51  96.70    79    0.177     5    0.495    0.673
  0.00   7.74  43.82   9.51  96.70    79    0.177     5    0.495    0.673
  0.00   7.74  58.11   9.51  96.71    79    0.177     5    0.495    0.673

The output of this example shows that a young generation collection occurred between the 3rd and 4th sample. The collection took 0.001 seconds and promoted objects from the eden space (E) to the old space (O), resulting in an increase of old space utilization from 9.49% to 9.51%. Before the collection, the survivor space was 12.44% utilized, but after this collection it is only 7.74% utilized.

Repeating the column header string

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by -gcutil option. In addition, it uses the -h3 option to output the column header after every 3 lines of data.

jstat -gcnew -h3 21891 250
 S0C    S1C    S0U    S1U   TT MTT  DSS      EC       EU     YGC     YGCT

  64.0   64.0   35.4    0.0  2  31   32.0    512.0    245.9    250    0.204
  64.0   64.0   35.4    0.0  2  31   32.0    512.0    421.1    250    0.204
  64.0   64.0    0.0   19.0 31  31   32.0    512.0     84.4    251    0.204
 S0C    S1C    S0U    S1U   TT MTT  DSS      EC       EU     YGC     YGCT
  64.0   64.0    0.0   19.0 31  31   32.0    512.0    306.7    251    0.204

In addition to showing the repeating header string, this example shows that between the 2nd and 3rd samples, a young GC occurred. Its duration was 0.001 seconds. The collection found enough live data that the survivor space 0 utilization (S0U) would would have exceeded the desired survivor Size (DSS). As a result, objects were promoted to the old generation (not visible in this output), and the tenuring threshold (TT) was lowered from 31 to 2.

Another collection occurs between the 5th and 6th samples. This collection found very few survivors and returned the tenuring threshold to 31.

Including a time stamp for each sample

This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 3 samples at 250 millisecond intervals. The -t option is used to generate a time stamp for each sample in the first column.

jstat -gcoldcapacity -t 21891 250 3
Timestamp          OGCMN        OGCMX         OGC           OC       YGC   FGC    FGCT    GCT
          150.1       1408.0      60544.0      11696.0      11696.0   194    80    2.874   3.799
          150.4       1408.0      60544.0      13820.0      13820.0   194    81    2.938   3.863
          150.7       1408.0      60544.0      13820.0      13820.0   194    81    2.938   3.863

The Timestamp column reports the elapsed time in seconds since the start of the target JVM. In addition, the -gcoldcapacity output shows the old generation capacity (OGC) and the old space capacity (OC) increasing as the heap expands to meet allocation and/or promotion demands. The old generation capacity (OGC) has grown to from 11696 KB to 13820 KB after the 81st Full GC (FGC). The maximum capacity of the generation (and space) is 60544 KB (OGCMX), so it still has room to expand.

Monitor instrumentation for a remote JVM

This example attaches to lvmid 40496 on the system named remote.domain using the -gcutil option, with samples taken every second indefinitely.

jstat -gcutil 40496@remote.domain 1000
... output omitted

The lvmid is combined with the name of the remote host to construct a vmid of 40496@remote.domain. This vmid results in the use of the rmi protocol to communicate to the default jstatd server on the remote host. The jstatd server is located using the rmiregistry on remote.domain that is bound to the defaultrmiregistry port (port 1099).
