Java and Liberty Managed Beans todo.png

Authors: Richard Watts, Vishwanath Ramaswamy, Vaughn Rokosz

Here is a brief list of suggested managed beans from the middleware applications that are part of your CLM system. In the reference section, we provide links to more detailed information.

Java Virtual Machine Managed Beans

The two key managed beans we consume from the Java Virtual Machine are the Garbage Collector and Operating System beans.

Garbage Collector

This managed bean is providing information about the Garbage Collector. It is used for monitoring the virtual machine's garbage collection metrics. The CollectionTime, CollectionCount should be used for alerts.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
LastCollectionEndTime Returns the end time in milliseconds of the last garbage collection that was carried out by this collector. GarbageCollector 15m
CollectionCount Returns the total number of collections that have occurred. This is set to -1 if the collection count is undefined for this collector. GarbageCollector 15m
CollectionTime Returns the approximate accumulated collection elapsed time in milliseconds. The Java virtual machine implementation may use a high resolution timer to measure the elapsed time. This method may return the same value even if the collection count has been incremented if the collection elapsed time is very short. GarbageCollector 15m
MemoryUsed Returns the amount of heap memory used by objects that are managed by the collector corresponding to this bean object. GarbageCollector 15m
TotalMemoryFreed Returns the cumulative total amount of memory freed, in bytes, by the garbage collector corresponding to this bean object. GarbageCollector 15m
TotalCompacts Returns the cumulative total number of compacts that was performed by garbage collector corresponding to this bean object. GarbageCollector 15m
LastCollectionStartTime Returns the start time in milliseconds of the last garbage collection that was carried out by this collector. GarbageCollector 15m

  • Garbage Collector Object Name: java.lang:type=GarbageCollector, name=collector's name

Operating System

This managed bean is providing information about the operating system metrics. It is used for monitoring CPU, Swap Space and Physical Memory Usage. The FreePhysicalMemorySize, FreeSwapSpaceSize, SystemCpuLoad should be used for alerts.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
SystemCpuLoad Returns the "recent cpu usage" for the whole system. This value is a double in the [0.0,1.0] interval. A value of 0.0 means all CPUs were idle in the recent period of time observed, while a value of 1.0 means that all CPUs were actively running 100% of the time during the recent period of time observed. All values between 0.0 and 1.0 are possible. OperatingSystem 15m
TotalPhysicalMemory Returns the total available physical memory on the system in bytes. OperatingSystem 15m
FreePhysicalMemorySize Returns the amount of physical memory that is available on the system in bytes. OperatingSystem 15m
TotalSwapSpaceSize Returns the total amount of swap space in bytes. OperatingSystem 15m
FreeSwapSpaceSize Returns the amount of free swap space in bytes. OperatingSystem 15m

  • Operating System Object Name: java.lang:type=OperatingSystem

WebSphere Liberty Managed Beans

There are four managed beans we use from the WebSphere Liberty Application Server are Liberty Java Virtual Machine, Servlet Statistics, Session Statistics and Thread Pools beans.

Liberty Java Virtual Machine

This managed bean provides Liberty application server specific Java Virtual Machine information. It is available when the monitor-1.0 feature is enabled. It is used for monitoring the JVM information. Memory usage is a very important monitoring attribute for the Application Server. High memory usage could indicate high usage by deployed applications, heavy user workloads or memory leaks. The UsedMemory and ProcessCpu attributes should be used for alerts.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
UpTime Time in milliseconds since the JVM has started. JvmStats 15m
Heap Heap size used for current JVM. JvmStats 15m
FreeMemory Free team available for the current JVM. JvmStats 15m
UsedMemory Used heap for current JVM. JvmStats 15m
ProcessCPU Percentage of CPU used by JVM process. JvmStats 15m
GcCount Number of times GC has happened since JVM starts. JvmStats 15m
GcTime Total accumulated value of GC time. JvmStats 15m

  • Liberty Java Virtual Machine Object Name: WebSphere:type=JvmStats

Servlet Statistics

The Servlet Statistics managed bean is used to provide servlet response times. When the monitor-1.0 feature is enabled, one instance is available for each servlet that has been served, where * is of the form AppName.ServletName. It is used to monitor servlet counts and average response times. The ResponseTime should be used for alerts.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
ResponseTimeDetails ResponseTime details including number of snapshot taken, min and max values. ServletStats 15m
AppName Name of the application. ServletStats 15m
ServletName Name of the Servlet. ServletStats 15m
RequestCount Number of hits to this servlet. ServletStats 15m
ResponseTime Average response time (nano-seconds) ServletStats 15m
Description Description of counter. ServletStats 15m
RequestCountDetails RequestCount details including last time stamp. ServletStats 15m

  • Liberty Servlet Statistics Object Name: WebSphere:type=ServletStats,name=*

Session Statistics

The session statistics managed bean is responsible for reporting SessionStats for a single web application. It is available when the monitor-1.0 feature is enabled.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
InvalidatedCountbyTimeout The total number of sessions invalidated by a timeout. SessionStats 15m
CreateCount Total number of sessions created. SessionStats 15m
LiveCount The total number of sessions that are currently cached in memory. SessionStats 15m
ActiveCount The total number of concurrently active sessions. A session is active if Liberty is processing a request that uses that session. SessionStats 15m
InvalidatedCount The total number of sessions that are invalidated. SessionStats 15m

  • Liberty Session Statistics Object Name: WebSphere:type=SessionStats,Name=*

Thread Pools

The Thread Pool managed bean provides web container thread pool information. It is available when the monitor-1.0 feature is enabled. ThreadPoolStats is used to monitor the active threads usage in relation to the pool size. Liberty uses an auto-tuning algorithm to find the sweet spot for how many threads the server needs. Liberty is always playing around and adjusting the number of threads in the pool in-between and defined bounds for the coreThreads and maxThreads. In Liberty the threadpool size is autosized by Liberty itself. The ActiveThreads attribute should be used for alerts.

Key Attributes Description MBean Frequency
PoolName Only supports Default Executor thread pool. ThreadPoolStats 15m
PoolSize Threads in the pool which represents the pool size. ThreadPoolStats 15m
ActiveThreads Active threads which are serving requests. ThreadPoolStats 15m

  • Liberty Thread Pools Object Name: WebSphere:type=ThreadPoolStats,name=DefaultExecutor
