Management interface for controlling Flight Recorder.

The object name for identifying the MXBean in the platform MBean server is:

jdk.management.jfr:type=FlightRecorder

Flight Recorder can be configured in the following ways:

  • Recording options
    Specify how long a recording should last, and where and when data should be dumped.
  • Settings
    Specify which events should be enabled and what kind information each event should capture.
  • Configurations
    Predefined sets of settings, typically derived from a settings file, that specify the configuration of multiple events simultaneously.

See the package jdk.jfr documentation for descriptions of the settings syntax and the ConfigurationInfo class documentation for configuration information.

Recording options

The following table shows the options names to use with setRecordingOptions(long, Map<String,String>) and getRecordingOptions(long).

Creates a snapshot recording of all available recorded data.

A snapshot is a synthesized recording in a stopped state. If no data is available, a recording with size 0 is returned.

A snapshot provides stable access to data for later operations (for example, operations to change the time interval or to reduce the data size).

The caller must close the recording when access to the data is no longer needed.

Returns a Map that contains the settings for the recording with the specified ID, (for example, the event thresholds)

If multiple recordings are running at the same time, more data could be recorded than what is specified in the Map object.

The name in the Map is the event name and the setting name separated by "#" (for example, "jdk.VMInfo#period"). The value is a textual representation of the settings value (for example, "60 s").

void setPredefinedConfiguration(long recordingId, String configurationName) throws IllegalArgumentException;
Sets and replaces all previous settings for the specified recording.

A setting consists of a name/value pair, where name specifies the event and setting to configure, and the value specifies what to set it to.

The name can be formed in the following ways:

<event-name> + "#" + <setting-name>

or

<event-id> + "#" + <setting-name>

For example, to set the sample interval of the CPU Load event to once every second, use the name "jdk.CPULoad#period" and the value "1 s". If multiple events use the same name, for example if an event class is loaded in multiple class loaders, and differentiation is needed between them, then the name is "56#period". The ID for an event is obtained by invoking EventType.getId() method and is valid for the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) instance that the event is registered in.

A list of available event names is retrieved by invoking FlightRecorder.getEventTypes() and EventType.getName(). A list of available settings for an event type is obtained by invoking EventType.getSettingDescriptors() and ValueDescriptor.getName().

Params:
  • recordingId – ID of the recording
  • settings – name value map of the settings to set, not null
Throws:
See Also:

Writes recording data to the specified file.

If this method is invoked remotely from another process, the data is written to a file named outputFile on the machine where the target Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is running. If the file location is a relative path, it is relative to the working directory where the target JVM was started.

Params:
  • recordingId – the ID of the recording to dump data for
  • outputFile – the system-dependent file name where data is written, not null
Throws:
  • IOException – if the recording can't be dumped due to an I/O error (for example, an invalid path)
  • IllegalArgumentException – if a recording with the specified ID doesn't exist
  • IllegalStateException – if the recording is not yet started or if it is already closed
  • SecurityException – if a security manager exists and its SecurityManager.checkWrite(java.lang.String) method denies write access to the named file or the caller does not have ManagmentPermission("control")
