A Year of Monitoring with Java-monitor
Abstract
The Java-monitor community has gathered just over a year of monitoring experience. In this session Kees Jan will present a few case studies of real-life problems and solutions that we came across.
We will examine strange garbage collector behaviour, talk about file descriptors in GlassFish, look at what memory leaks look like and how to tune memory pools in JVM's.
This presentation is most interesting to developers who got bullied into being the local Java system administrator too. You will learn what to monitor and look at in order to be able to assess the health of our JVM in production.
It is also very informative for system administrators who have been pressed into being responsible for a Java application server. You will learn more about the internals of a JVM, without having to learn Java.
Speaker
Kees Jan Koster is a freelance Java architect and technical project leader. He is currently starting up Java-monitor as a community service, and as a business.
