Class Profiler

org.threadly.util.debug.Profiler

Direct Known Subclasses:

ControlledThreadProfiler, FilteredStackProfiler

public class Profiler
extends java.lang.Object

Tool for profiling a running java application to get an idea of where the slow points (either because of lock contention, or because of high computational demand).

This tool definitely incurs some load within the system, so it should only be used while debugging, and not as general use. In addition if it is left running without being reset, it will continue to consume more and more memory.

Since:

1.0.0

Constructor Detail

Profiler

public Profiler()

Constructs a new profiler instance. The only way to get results from this instance is to call dump() with a provided output stream to get the results to.

This uses a default poll interval of 100 milliseconds.

Profiler

public Profiler(int pollIntervalInMs)

Constructs a new profiler instance. The only way to get results from this instance is to call dump() with a provided output stream to get the results to.

Parameters:

pollIntervalInMs - frequency to check running threads

Method Detail

setPollInterval

public void setPollInterval(int pollIntervalInMs)

Change how long the profiler waits before getting additional thread stacks. This value must be greater than or equal to 0.

Parameters:

pollIntervalInMs - time in milliseconds to wait between thread data dumps

getPollInterval

public int getPollInterval()

Call to get the currently set profile interval. This is the amount of time the profiler waits between collecting thread data.

Returns:

returns the profile interval in milliseconds

getCollectedSampleQty

public int getCollectedSampleQty()

Call to get an estimate on how many times the profiler has collected a sample of the thread stacks. This number may be lower than the actual sample quantity, but should never be higher. It can be used to ensure a minimum level of accuracy from within the profiler.

Returns:

the number of times since the start or last reset we have sampled the threads

reset

public void reset()

Reset the current stored statistics. The statistics will continue to grow in memory until the profiler is either stopped, or until this is called.

isRunning

public boolean isRunning()

Call to check weather the profile is currently running/started.

Returns:

true if there is a thread currently collecting statistics.

start

public void start()

Starts the profiler running in a new thread.

If this profiler had previously ran, and is now sitting in a stopped state again. The statistics from the previous run will still be included in this run. If you wish to clear out previous runs you must call reset() first.

start

public void start(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor)

Starts the profiler running in a new thread.

If this profiler had previously ran, and is now sitting in a stopped state again. The statistics from the previous run will still be included in this run. If you wish to clear out previous runs you must call reset() first.

If an executor is provided, this call will block until the the profiler has been started on the provided executor.

Parameters:

executor - executor to execute on, or null if new thread should be created

start

public ListenableFuture<java.lang.String> start(long sampleDurationInMillis)

Starts the profiler running in a new thread.

If this profiler had previously ran, and is now sitting in a stopped state again. The statistics from the previous run will still be included in this run. If you wish to clear out previous runs you must call reset() first.

If sampleDurationInMillis is greater than zero the Profiler will invoke stop() in that many milliseconds.

The returned ListenableFuture will be provided the dump when stop() is invoked next. Either from a timeout provided to this call, or a manual invocation of stop().

Parameters:

sampleDurationInMillis - if greater than 0 the profiler will only run for this many milliseconds

Returns:

Future that will be completed with the dump string when the profiler is stopped

start

public ListenableFuture<java.lang.String> start(java.util.concurrent.Executor executor,
                                                long sampleDurationInMillis)

Starts the profiler running in a new thread.

If this profiler had previously ran, and is now sitting in a stopped state again. The statistics from the previous run will still be included in this run. If you wish to clear out previous runs you must call reset() first.

If an executor is provided, this call will block until the the profiler has been started on the provided executor.

If sampleDurationInMillis is greater than zero the Profiler will invoke stop() in that many milliseconds.

The returned ListenableFuture will be provided the dump when stop() is invoked next. Either from a timeout provided to this call, or a manual invocation of stop().

Parameters:

executor - executor to execute on, or null if new thread should be created

sampleDurationInMillis - if greater than 0 the profiler will only run for this many milliseconds

Returns:

Future that will be completed with the dump string when the profiler is stopped

stop

public void stop()

Stops the profiler from collecting more statistics. If a file was provided at construction, the results will be written to that file. It is possible to request the results using the dump() call after it has stopped.
