Displaying OC4J JVM MBean Statistics from a JMX Client

The JVM Mbean within an OC4J 10.1.3.x container has some useful statistic which are displayed in ASC MBean browser. Here is some code which shows how to obtain those from a JMX client.

So the MBean we want to access is as follows:

oc4j:j2eeType=JVM,name=single,J2EEServer=standalone

And the statistics we want to display which ASC shows for us are as follows:
  • FreeHeapSize
  • ActiveThreads
  • HeapSize
So here is the code we will use from a JMX Client. The method which obtains the statistics we need is called "showStats(ObjectName)"


package oracle.support.oc4j.standalone;

import java.text.DateFormat;

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Logger;

import javax.management.MBeanServerConnection;
import javax.management.ObjectName;
import javax.management.j2ee.statistics.JVMStats;
import javax.management.j2ee.statistics.Statistic;
import javax.management.j2ee.statistics.BoundedRangeStatistic;

public class JVMMonitor implements Runnable
{
private final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName());
private static final DateFormat DATEFORMAT = DateFormat.getInstance();
private OC4JConnection con = null;
private MBeanServerConnection mbs = null;
private String targetMBean = "oc4j:j2eeType=JVM,name=single,J2EEServer=standalone";
private ObjectName mbean = null;

public JVMMonitor() throws Exception
{
// retrieve an OC4JConnection object this is a singleton class
con = OC4JConnection.getInstance();
mbs = con.getConnection();
mbean = new ObjectName(targetMBean);
System.out.println("** JVM Details **");
System.out.printf("Opmn Managed: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "opmnEnabled"));
System.out.printf("Java Version: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "javaVersion"));
System.out.printf("Java Vendor: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "javaVendor"));
System.out.printf("Host Node: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "node"));
System.out.printf("RMI Port: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "rmiPort"));
System.out.printf("RMIS Port: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "rmisPort"));
System.out.printf("RMI IP: %s\n",
mbs.getAttribute(mbean, "rmiServerAddress"));

}

public void run ()
{

System.out.println("\n");
try
{
System.out.printf("--> Current JVM Details [%s]\n\n",
DATEFORMAT.format(new Date()));


showStats(mbean);
System.out.printf("\n<-- End...\n");
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error in run()");
e.printStackTrace();
}
finally
{
//con.close();
}
}

private void showStats(ObjectName cp) throws Exception
{

JVMStats stats =
(JVMStats) mbs.getAttribute(cp, "stats");

Object mem = null;
mem = mbs.getAttribute(cp, "totalMemory");
Long memLong = null;
memLong = (Long) mem;

System.out.printf("Total Memory: %s\n", memLong.intValue()/1024/1024 + "M");

mem = mbs.getAttribute(cp, "freeMemory");
memLong = (Long) mem;
System.out.printf("Free Memory: %s\n",
memLong.intValue()/1024/1024 + "M");

System.out.printf("HeapSize: %s\n",
stats.getHeapSize().getCurrent()/1024 + "M");
System.out.printf("HighWaterMark: %s\n",
stats.getHeapSize().getHighWaterMark()/1024 + "M");
System.out.printf("LowWaterMark: %s\n",
stats.getHeapSize().getLowWaterMark()/1024 + "M");

Statistic[] allStats = stats.getStatistics();

for (Statistic s: allStats)
{
if (!s.getName().equalsIgnoreCase("UpTime"))
{
System.out.println("\n--");
System.out.printf("JVM Statistic [%s]\n", s.getName());
System.out.printf("Description : %s\n", s.getDescription());
System.out.printf("Unit : %s\n", s.getUnit());
System.out.printf("Last Sample Time : %s\n", new Date(s.getLastSampleTime()));

BoundedRangeStatistic brs = (BoundedRangeStatistic) s;

if (s.getUnit().equals("THREADS"))
{
System.out.printf("High WaterMark : %s\n", brs.getHighWaterMark());
System.out.printf("Low WaterMark : %s\n", brs.getLowWaterMark());
System.out.printf("Current : %s\n", brs.getCurrent());
}
else
{
System.out.printf("High WaterMark : %s\n", brs.getHighWaterMark()/1024 + "M");
System.out.printf("Low WaterMark : %s\n", brs.getLowWaterMark()/1024 + "M");
System.out.printf("Current : %s\n", brs.getCurrent()/1024 + "M");
}

}
}


}

}



So the output would then be as follows:

** JVM Details **
Opmn Managed: true
Java Version: 1.5.0_06
Java Vendor: Sun Microsystems Inc.
Host Node: beast.au.oracle.com
RMI Port: 12406

RMI IP: 10.187.80.70

JVMMonitor
Period to report results in seconds is : 5

HeapSize: 515M
HighWaterMark: 550M
LowWaterMark: 504M

<-- End...

Where does the OC4JConnection class come from?

Pas Apicella said...

That's a separate class which actually is used to connect to the OC4J Container itself using JMX.

Once connected the method getConnection() will return the actual MBeanServer Connection.

Glad I found this post. I'm testing nearly identical code against version 10.1.3.3.0, but run into a casting exception. Everything is good except trying to get data from the stats attribute. I pull the JVMStats from the MBean OK. I get Statistics[], as you do with stats.getStatistics(). As I loop thru Statistics[], I get an exception when casting a Statistic to a BoundedRangeStatistic. How did you get away with that?
Running this:
BoundedRangeStatistic brs ;
stats =
(JVMStats) _mbs.getAttribute(objName, "stats") ;

Statistic[] allStats = stats.getStatistics() ;

for(Statistic s: allStats) {

brs = (BoundedRangeStatistic) s;
and so on.....

When it hits the brs=... I get:
java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.oc4j.admin.management.shared.statistic.CountStatisticImpl

Thanks for your attention.

It's been a while since I created these MBean client utilities but as a guess here is where I think the problem is. The run time error is PERHAPS due to the fact your using a different client version versus the server version so in short you want to do this:

OAS 10.1.3.4 - Jdeveloper 10.1.3.4 (client)
OAS 10.1.3.5 - Jdeveloper 10.1.3.5 (client)
.....

Note: The client doesn't need to be jdev BUT it's vital that you use an OAS client side distribution which matches the OAS server version. Another way is to use the JAR files from the server on your client and most of all use the exact same JDK version used on the client to that of the server.

That should work I believe. Here is the OAS client side distribution you can download in case your not using that, be sure to get the version which matches your server.

Could you please provide me the OC4JConnection class.

I added the class to the main entry above.
