Core API Example

Example for producing an HTML report from the command line:

java -cp <the built core jars> org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.report.html.JfrHtmlRulesReport <file> [<outputfile>]

Example for finding the standard deviation for the java monitor events in a recording:

import java.io.File;
 
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.IDisplayable;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.item.Aggregators;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.item.IItemCollection;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.item.ItemFilters;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.unit.IQuantity;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.JfrAttributes;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.JfrLoaderToolkit;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.jdk.JdkTypeIDs;
 
/**
 * Finds out the standard deviation for the java monitor enter events.
 */
public class LoadRecording {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {         
        IItemCollection events = JfrLoaderToolkit.loadEvents(new File(args[0]));
        IQuantity aggregate = events.apply(ItemFilters.type(JdkTypeIDs.MONITOR_ENTER))
                .getAggregate(Aggregators.stddev(JfrAttributes.DURATION));
         
        System.out.println("The standard deviation for the Java monitor enter events was "
                + aggregate.displayUsing(IDisplayable.AUTO));
    }
}

Example for programmatically running the rules:

import java.io.File;
import java.util.concurrent.RunnableFuture;
 
import org.example.util.DemoToolkit;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.item.IItemCollection;
import org.openjdk.jmc.common.util.IPreferenceValueProvider;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.JfrLoaderToolkit;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.IRule;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.Result;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.RuleRegistry;
 
public class RunRulesOnFileSimple {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        File recording = DemoToolkit.verifyRecordingArgument(RunRulesOnFileSimple.class, args);
        IItemCollection events = JfrLoaderToolkit.loadEvents(recording);
         
        for (IRule rule : RuleRegistry.getRules()) {
            RunnableFuture<Result> future = rule.evaluate(events, IPreferenceValueProvider.DEFAULT_VALUES);
            future.run();
            Result result = future.get();
            if (result.getScore() > 50) {
                System.out.println(String.format("[Score: %3.0f] Rule ID: %s, Rule name: %s, Short description: %s",
                        result.getScore(), result.getRule().getId(), result.getRule().getName(),
                        result.getShortDescription()));
            }
        }
    }
}

Example for programmatically running rules in parallel:

import java.io.File;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.concurrent.Executor;
import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.RunnableFuture;

import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.Result;
import org.openjdk.jmc.flightrecorder.rules.RuleRegistry;
 
/**
 * Runs the rules on the events in the specified file in parallel, then prints
 * them in order of descending score.
 */
public class RunRulesOnFile {
    private final static Executor EXECUTOR = Executors
            .newFixedThreadPool(Runtime.getRuntime().availableProcessors() - 1);
    private static int limit;
 
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        if (args.length == 0) {
            System.out.println(
                    "Usage: RunRulesOnFile <recording file> [<limit>]\n\tThe recording file must be a flight recording from JDK 7 or above. The limit, if set, will only report rules triggered with a score higher or equal than the limit.");
            System.exit(2);
        }
        IItemCollection events = JfrLoaderToolkit.loadEvents(new File(args[0]));
        if (args.length > 1) {
            limit = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);
        }

        List<Result> results = resultFutures.parallel().map((RunnableFuture<Result> runnable) -> get(runnable))
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        } catch (InterruptedException | ExecutionException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

Building Mission Control from Source

Prerequisites for building Mission Control:

1. Install JDK 11, and make sure it is the JDK in use (java -version)

2. Install Maven (version 3.3.x. or above)

On Linux or macOS you can use the build.sh script to build JMC:

usage: call ./build.sh with the following options:
   --installCore to install the core artifacts
   --test        to run the tests
   --testUi      to run the tests including UI tests
   --packageJmc  to package JMC
   --clean       to run maven clean

Otherwise follow the steps manually:

First get third party dependencies into a local p2 repo and make it available on localhost:

cd missioncontrolfolder [where you just cloned the sources]
cd releng/third-party
mvn p2:site
mvn jetty:run

Then in another terminal (in the project root):

cd core
mvn clean install
cd ..
mvn package

Note that you may need to define proxy settings if you happen to be behind a firewall. In your ~/.m2/settings.xml file (if you have none, simply create one), add:

<settings>
  <proxies>
    <proxy>
      <id>http-proxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>http</protocol>
      <host>my.proxy.example.org</host>
      <port>80</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>localhost|*.example.org</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
    <proxy>
      <id>https-proxy</id>
      <active>true</active>
      <protocol>https</protocol>
      <host>my.proxy.example.org</host>
      <port>80</port>
      <nonProxyHosts>localhost|*.example.org</nonProxyHosts>
    </proxy>
  </proxies>
</settings>

Running Tests

To run the unit tests:

mvn verify

To run the UI tests:

mvn verify -P uitests

Note that the UI tests will take some time to run, and that you need to stop interacting with your computer for the duration of the tests.

Spotbugs can take some time to run. If you are only interested in the test results, you can skip running spotbugs by setting -Dspotbugs.skip=true.

For example:

mvn verify -P uitests -Dspotbugs.skip=true

Filtering Test Runs

Aside from the from the simple -test Maven flag test classes that should be run/not run can be specified by means of the system properties "test.includes" and/or "test.excludes". Multiple patterns can be specified by comma separation.

For example:

mvn verify -Dtest.includes=**/*TestRulesWithJfr*,**/*StacktraceModelTest*

When specifying both test.includes and "test.excludes" the test.excludes takes precedence and filters out tests that also are matched by "test.includes".

For example:

mvn verify -P uitests -Dtest.includes=**/*SystemTabTest*,**/*TestRulesWithJfr*,**/*StacktraceModelTest* -Dtest.excludes=**/*ModelTest*

The above will not run StacktraceModelTest, as that is also matched by "test.excludes".

Note that if UI-tests are supposed to be part of the filtered run the "uitests" profile needs to be specified as well. Otherwise the UI won't start up and so the tests fail.

Building using docker and docker-compose

docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml run jmc

Once build has finished the results will be in the target directory

Running the Locally Built JMC

The built JMC will end up in the target folder in the root. The launcher is located in target/products/org.openjdk.jmc/<platform>. By default whichever JRE is on the path will be used. Remember to set it to a JDK (rather than a JRE) if you want the launched mission control to automatically discover locally running JVMs. To override which JVM to use when launching, add -vm and the path to a directory where a JDK java launcher is located, for example -vm $JAVA_HOME/bin.

Here is an example for Mac OS X:

target/products/org.openjdk.jmc/macosx/cocoa/x86_64/JDK\ Mission\ Control.app/Contents/MacOS/jmc

Here is an example for Linux:

target/products/org.openjdk.jmc/linux/gtk/x86_64/JDK\ Mission\ Control/jmc

And here is an example for Windows x64:

"target\products\org.openjdk.jmc\win32\win32\x86_64\JDK Mission Control\jmc"

Using the Built JMC Update Site in Eclipse

As part of the JMC build, the JMC update sites will be built.

There is one update site for the stand-alone RCP application, providing plug-ins for the stand-alone release of JMC:

application/org.openjdk.jmc.updatesite.rcp/target/

There is another update site for the Eclipse plug-ins, providing plug-ins for running JMC inside of Eclipse:

application/org.openjdk.jmc.updatesite.ide/target/

To install it into Eclipe, simply open Eclipse and select Help | Install New Software... In the dialog, click Add... and then click the Archive... button. Select the built update site, e.g.

application/org.openjdk.jmc.updatesite.ide/target/org.openjdk.jmc.updatesite.ide-8.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip
