| |
13.2 | 5 | There are various solutions you can use to monitor a running XWiki instance: |
 |
26.1 | 6 | |
 |
24.2 | 7 | * Install and configure [[JavaMelody>>https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki]] |
| |
26.1 | 8 | * [[Use a Profiler>>dev:Community.Profiling]]. This has the advantage of providing advanced information, but has the drawback of being resource intensive and thus slowing the XWiki instance. It also requires a special startup script. |
| 9 | * Starting with XWiki 2.4M2 we're now using the [[JMX Technology>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Management_Extensions]] to provide runtime monitoring of XWiki instances. The following features are currently available: | ||
| |
1.1 | 10 | ** Monitor the Velocity macro caches |
| |
3.3 | 11 | ** Monitor the JBossCache caches XWiki is using to cache Document data, Users & Groups data and more |
| |
8.1 | 12 | ** (starting with XE 3.1) Monitor the JGroups channel and protocols (when the XWiki Cluster feature is turned on) |
| 13 | ** (starting with XE 3.1) Monitor the Logback Logging configuration and change it | ||
| |
1.1 | 14 | |
| |
2.3 | 15 | {{info}} |
| |
26.3 | 16 | XWiki also has a [[Monitor Plugin>>DocumentationAdminGuide.Logging||anchor="HActivatingtheXWikiMonitoringfeature"]] that you can use to monitor execution times. However this plugin is going to be deprecated in the future and replaced by the JMX technology. |

13.2 | 19 | = JavaMelody = |

24.3 | 21 | [[[[image:https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiki/javamelody/javamelody/resources/screenshots/graphs.png||width="50%"]]>>https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/Screenshots#charts||style="width:50%"]] |
| |
13.2 | 22 | |
| |
24.2 | 23 | To install JavaMelody for XWiki follow these steps (see the [[JavaMelody user guide>>https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/wiki/UserGuide]] for more details): |
| |
26.1 | 24 | |
| |
24.2 | 25 | * Download the latest [[javamelody.jar>>https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/releases]] and [[jrobin-x.jar>>https://github.com/javamelody/javamelody/releases/download/javamelody-core-1.49.0/jrobin-1.5.9.jar]] and put them in the ##WEB-INF/lib## folder |
| |
13.2 | 26 | * Edit ##web.xml## and add the following information:((( |
| 27 | {{code}} | ||
| 28 | ... | ||
| 29 | <filter> | ||
| 30 | <filter-name>monitoring</filter-name> | ||
| 31 | <filter-class>net.bull.javamelody.MonitoringFilter</filter-class> | ||

| 53 | ... other <listener>s from the default web.xml here ... | ||

| 55 | {{/code}} | ||
| 56 | ))) | ||
| 57 | * Edit ##hibernate.cfg.xml## and add:((( | ||
| 58 | {{code}} | ||
| 59 | <property name="jdbc.factory_class">net.bull.javamelody.HibernateBatcherFactory</property> | ||
| 60 | {{/code}} | ||
| 61 | ))) | ||
| 62 | |||
| |
26.1 | 63 | Then restart XWiki and access JavaMelody at ##http:~/~/localhost:8080/xwiki/monitoring##. |
| |
13.2 | 64 | |
| |
1.1 | 65 | = JMX Console = |
| 66 | |||
 |
17.3 | 67 | Since JMX is a standard you can use [[any JMX-compatible monitoring console>>http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1744900/what-is-the-best-or-most-commonly-used-jmx-console-client]] (most application servers provide a web-based JMX console). There's also a console called [[JConsole>>http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/management/jconsole.html]] which is bundled by default in the Java Runtime you're using. To start it, simply execute the ##jconsole## executable. |
| |
1.1 | 68 | |
| |
24.1 | 69 | {{info}} |
| 70 | Note that starting with XWiki 6.3, if you're using the Standalone Distribution (which bundles Jetty) you can now use ##start_xwiki.sh -j## (or ##start_xwiki.sh ~-~-jmx##) to monitor/manage the Jetty instance itself (it adds Jetty-specific MBeans): | ||

11.1 | 75 | == XWiki Caches Monitoring == |
| 76 | |||
| |
14.1 | 77 | XWiki can use different cache implementations. The JBoss Cache and JBoss Infinispan implementations have nice JMX features available as shown below. |
| |
11.1 | 78 | |
| |
17.3 | 79 | Starting with XWiki 3.3 the default implementation is JBoss Infinispan. |
| |
14.1 | 80 | |
| 81 | === With JBoss Infinispan === | ||
| 82 | |||
| 83 | Since JBoss Infinispan natively supports JMX we benefit from this feature directly (JBoss documentation available [[here>>https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Management+Tooling]]). | ||
| 84 | |||
| |
17.3 | 85 | {{info}} |
| |
26.1 | 86 | Prior to XWiki 3.5 the JMX support was not enabled by default. To enable it, edit ##WEB-INF/cache/infinispan/config.xml## and uncomment the two places where the "jmx" string is mentioned |
| |
17.3 | 87 | {{/info}} |
| |
14.1 | 88 | |
| 89 | Example showing the cache list and some statistic for a given cache: | ||
| 90 | |||
| |
17.3 | 91 | {{image reference="infinispancache.png"/}} |
| |
14.1 | 92 | |
| |
20.1 | 93 | Example showing how to clear a given cache from all its entries: |
| 94 | |||
| 95 | {{image reference="infinispancacheclearing.png"/}} | ||
| 96 | |||
| |
14.1 | 97 | === With JBoss Cache === |
| 98 | |||
| |
17.3 | 99 | Since JBoss Cache natively supports JMX we benefit from this feature directly (JBoss documentation available [[here>>https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Web_Platform/5/html/JBoss_Cache_User_Guide/jmx_reference.html]]). |
| |
14.1 | 100 | |
| |
11.1 | 101 | Example showing all JBoss Caches in memory in a running instance, showing all the elements in the cache (example on the document cache): |
| 102 | |||
 |
17.2 | 103 | {{image reference="jbosscache.png"/}} |
| |
11.1 | 104 | |
| 105 | Example showing Cache stats (for the document cache): | ||
| 106 | |||
| |
17.2 | 107 | {{image reference="jbosscache-stats.png"/}} |
| |
11.1 | 108 | |
| |
4.1 | 109 | == Velocity Cache Monitoring == |
| |
1.1 | 110 | |
| |
12.2 | 111 | Velocity caches Velocity macros. XWiki offers a JMX view of the content of the Velocity caches. |
| 112 | |||
| |
4.1 | 113 | JConsole examples showing the Velocity Cache monitoring: |
| 114 | |||
| |
17.2 | 115 | {{image reference="jconsole1.png"/}} |
| |
1.1 | 116 | |
| |
17.2 | 117 | {{image reference="jconsole2.png"/}} |
| |
1.1 | 118 | |
| |
4.1 | 119 | == JGroups Monitoring == |
| 120 | |||
| 121 | JConsole example showing the JGroups monitoring: | ||
| 122 | |||
| |
17.2 | 123 | {{image reference="jgroups.png"/}} |
| |
4.1 | 124 | |
| 125 | Interesting things to do on JGroups in the JMX console: | ||
| |
26.1 | 126 | |
| |
4.1 | 127 | * Change the log level on the protocols to enable logging |
| 128 | * Disconnect a node from the cluster and reconnect it | ||
| 129 | |||
| |
10.1 | 130 | == Logback Monitoring == |
| 131 | |||
| 132 | JConsole example showing how to modify the logging level for a category: | ||
| 133 | |||
| |

10.1 | 135 | |
| |
7.1 | 136 | = Tomcat JMX Proxy Servlet = |
| 137 | |||
| 138 | Tomcat has a JMX Proxy Servlet bundled in their ##manager## webapp (see [[here>>http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/manager-howto.html]] and [[here>>http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/monitoring.html]] for more details on Tomcat and JMX]]. | ||
| 139 | |||
| 140 | Here's some useful URLs to use the JMX Servlet Proxy to list and set JGroups Protocol Levels: | ||
| |
26.1 | 141 | |
| |
7.1 | 142 | * To display the current log level for the TCPPING protocol: {{{http://localhost:8080/manager/jmxproxy?qry=jgroups:type=protocol,cluster=event,protocol=TCPPING}}} |
| 143 | * To set the log level to ##info## for the TCPPING protocol: {{{http://localhost:8080/manager/jmxproxy?set=jgroups:type=protocol,cluster=event,protocol=TCPPING&att=Level&val=info}}} | ||
| 144 | |||
| |
18.1 | 145 | = Others = |
| |
7.1 | 146 | |
| |
18.1 | 147 | * It's possible to [[write a Groovy script in a wiki page to access the JMX MBeans>>extensions:Extension.JMX Access]]. |
| 148 | * [[JMX Monitoring Application>>extensions:Extension.JMX Monitoring Application]] | ||
| |
19.1 | 149 | * [[XInit>>extensions:Extension.Xinit]] |
