hsperfdata

hsperfdata Plugin

The plugin gathers data from Hotspot JVMs via the hsperfdata files they expose. This plugin won't work if you've disabled their creation using -XX:-UsePerfData or -XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem!

Configuration:

[[inputs.hsperfdata]]
  # Optional: gather data from processes belonging to a different user. By
  # default, the username in the USER environment variable is used to generate
  # the hsperfdata directory name (usually "/tmp/hsperfdata_username")
  user: "root"

  # use the named keys in the hsperfdata file as tags, not fields. By default,
  # every key is exposed as a field. This example shows how to tag by JVM major
  # version:
  tags: ["java.property.java.vm.specification.version"]

Measurements & Fields:

All metrics are gathered as the "java" measurement.

All keys in the hsperfdata file are exposed as fields; there's no comprehensive list as they vary by Hotspot version.

Tags:

• All measurements have the following tags:
  • pid (the process id of the monitored process)
  • procname (the class name containing the main function being run)

Example Output:

Most fields abbreviated; there's usually 200-300 of them:
