Recording

PREREQUISITES

The analyzer takes a recording tar.gz or gz or zip or jfr file as input.
For demo needs, use one of the recordings below.
For your needs, you have several choices :

  • Use the Jeyzer Recorder agent to get a JZR recording.
    This is the preferred and complete approach.
    Jeyzer Recorder is described here and available here.
  • Use the Java Flight Recorder of your JVM (Java 11+ or latest OpenJdk 8).
    Instructions are available here.
  • For Java 21+ virtual threads (Loom), use on Windows the Jcmd-periodic.bat available in the Jeyzer Recorder distribution.
    On Linux, use this command :
    >watch -n 30 ‘jcmd <pid of your process> Thread.dump_to_file -format=txt /tmp/recording/thread-dump-${date}.txt‘
  • Perform periodic thread dumps using Jstack.
    This is quick approach although it requires a JDK. Note that the analyzer will provide limited view.
    Linux command (period = 30 seconds) is : > watch -n 30 ‘jstack <pid of your process> > /tmp/recording/thread-dump-${date}.txt’
    Supported thread dump file extensions are .txt,  .jstack,  .dump,  .out,  .dmp, and .log
    Once completed, zip, gzip or tar gz the files.
