Jprofiler Configuring for Jboss application server and Jboss portal server

Jprofiler Configuration for Jboss Application server

For profiling your application you required two Jprofiler softwares

1. Is for Agent (Agent sit in Application server for collecting the profiling counters which may be any Linux/Unix machines)

2. Is for Monitoring collecting data (which is having GUI and sits on any Windows machine)

Note: It is possible to monitor your application from one Jprofiler but we require

a. GUI for that Linux machine (Now day mostly all Unix/Linux are in CLI interface, so we just installing agent in Unix/Linux machines and monitoring from windows machine)

b. It is not recommended because Jprofiler uses Java flat form and your Application server require Java flat form then it is difficult to profile the application)

Agent Configuration:

Step 1: Open the following URL http://www.ej-technologies.com/download/jprofiler/files.html and download the suitable Jprofiler and Place this in your Unix/Linux machine (assume you placed this in /opt)

Or

Open the following URL http://www.ej-technologies.com/download/jprofiler/files.html and right click on suitable Jprofiler and select the “Copy link address”. Then open the server using putty (cd /opt) and enter the following command wget –c http://download.ej-technologies.com/jprofiler/jprofiler_linux_7_1.tar.gz (paste the copied link here)

Note: Use following commands in your putty session for finding suitable version

Cat /proc/*release

Step 2: If your file extension is tar.gz the do the following commands for extraction

gunzip filename

tar filename

Step 3: In Linux machine open .bash_profile file (usually located in /root directory)

Enter jprofiller location (using export command) in .bash_profile file

export JPROFILER_HOME =/opt/jprofiler6/bin/linux-x86

Step 4: Open run.conf from Jboss_Home/bin then add the below content in the run.conf file

JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -agentpath:/opt/jprofiler6/bin/linux-x86/libjprofilerti.so=port=8849 -Xbootclasspath/a:/opt/jprofiler6/bin/agent.jar"

Monitoring the Profiling Data from Windows machine :

Step 1: Install the Jprofiler in windows machine (agent version and this version should be same)

Step 2: From ‘Quick Start‘ Screen select “An application on a remote computer” option and click on next button

Step 3: From the Wizard select “On remote computer” and select which OS your app server /agent is running and click on next

Step 4: From JVM Vendor , version . Select which vendor JVM using , version and click on next

Step 5: Select “wait for a connection From the Jprofiler GUI”

Step 6: Start your jboss now from your putty

Preconditions:

1. JRE required

2. Jboss server need to Stop before configuring the agent

3. License key required in Windows environment (Agent does not required license key)
