  52 .SH NAME    
  53 jstat \- Monitors Java Virtual Machine (JVM) statistics\&. This command is experimental and unsupported\&.
  54 .SH SYNOPSIS    
  55 .sp     
  56 .nf     
  57 
  58 \fBjstat\fR [ \fIgeneralOption\fR | \fIoutputOptions vmid\fR [ \fIinterval\fR[s|ms] [ \fIcount \fR] ]
  59 .fi     
  60 .sp     
  61 .TP     
  62 \fIgeneralOption\fR
  63 A single general command-line option \f3-help\fR or \f3-options\fR\&. See General Options\&.
  64 .TP     
  65 \fIoutputOptions\fR
  66 One or more output options that consist of a single \f3statOption\fR, plus any of the \f3-t\fR, \f3-h\fR, and \f3-J\fR options\&. See Output Options\&.
  67 .TP     
  68 \fIvmid\fR
  69 Virtual machine identifier, which is a string that indicates the target JVM\&. The general syntax is the following:
  70 .sp     
  71 .nf     
  72 \f3[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname[:port]/servername]\fP
  73 .fi     
  74 .nf     
  75 \f3\fP
  76 .fi     
  77 .sp     
  78 
  79 
  80 The syntax of the \f3vmid\fR string corresponds to the syntax of a URI\&. The \f3vmid\fR string can vary from a simple integer that represents a local JVM to a more complex construction that specifies a communications protocol, port number, and other implementation-specific values\&. See Virtual Machine Identifier\&.
  81 .TP     
  82 \fIinterval\fR [s|ms]
  83 Sampling interval in the specified units, seconds (s) or milliseconds (ms)\&. Default units are milliseconds\&. Must be a positive integer\&. When specified, the \f3jstat\fR command produces its output at each interval\&.
  84 .TP     
  85 \fIcount\fR
  86 Number of samples to display\&. The default value is infinity which causes the \f3jstat\fR command to display statistics until the target JVM terminates or the \f3jstat\fR command is terminated\&. This value must be a positive integer\&.
  87 .SH DESCRIPTION    
  88 The \f3jstat\fR command displays performance statistics for an instrumented Java HotSpot VM\&. The target JVM is identified by its virtual machine identifier, or \f3vmid\fR option\&.
  89 .SH VIRTUAL\ MACHINE\ IDENTIFIER    
  90 The syntax of the \f3vmid\fR string corresponds to the syntax of a URI:
  91 .sp     
  92 .nf     
  93 \f3[protocol:][//]lvmid[@hostname[:port]/servername]\fP
  94 .fi     
  95 .nf     
  96 \f3\fP
  97 .fi     
  98 .sp     
  99 .TP     
 100 \fIprotocol\fR
 101 The communications protocol\&. If the \fIprotocol\fR value is omitted and a host name is not specified, then the default protocol is a platform-specific optimized local protocol\&. If the \fIprotocol\fR value is omitted and a host name is specified, then the default protocol is \f3rmi\fR\&.
 102 .TP     
 103 \fIlvmid\fR
 104 The local virtual machine identifier for the target JVM\&. The \f3lvmid\fR is a platform-specific value that uniquely identifies a JVM on a system\&. The \f3lvmid\fR is the only required component of a virtual machine identifier\&. The \f3lvmid\fR is typically, but not necessarily, the operating system\&'s process identifier for the target JVM process\&. You can use the \f3jps\fR command to determine the \f3lvmid\fR\&. Also, you can determine the \f3lvmid\fR on Solaris, Linux, and OS X platforms with the \f3ps\fR command, and on Windows with the Windows Task Manager\&.
 105 .TP     
 106 \fIhostname\fR
 107 A hostname or IP address that indicates the target host\&. If the \fIhostname\fR value is omitted, then the target host is the local host\&.
 108 .TP     
 109 \fIport\fR
 110 The default port for communicating with the remote server\&. If the \fIhostname\fR value is omitted or the \fIprotocol\fR value specifies an optimized, local protocol, then the \fIport\fR value is ignored\&. Otherwise, treatment of the \f3port\fR parameter is implementation-specific\&. For the default \f3rmi\fR protocol, the port value indicates the port number for the rmiregistry on the remote host\&. If the \fIport\fR value is omitted and the \fIprotocol\fR value indicates \f3rmi\fR, then the default rmiregistry port (1099) is used\&.
 111 .TP     
 112 \fIservername\fR
 113 The treatment of the \f3servername\fR parameter depends on implementation\&. For the optimized local protocol, this field is ignored\&. For the \f3rmi\fR protocol, it represents the name of the RMI remote object on the remote host\&.
 114 .SH OPTIONS    
 115 The \f3jstat\fR command supports two types of options, general options and output options\&. General options cause the \f3jstat\fR command to display simple usage and version information\&. Output options determine the content and format of the statistical output\&.
 116 .PP
 117 All options and their functionality are subject to change or removal in future releases\&.
 118 .SS GENERAL\ OPTIONS    
 119 If you specify one of the general options, then you cannot specify any other option or parameter\&.
 120 .TP
 121 -help
 122 .br
 123 Displays a help message\&.
 124 .TP
 125 -options
 126 .br
 127 Displays a list of static options\&. See Output Options\&.
 128 .SS OUTPUT\ OPTIONS    
 129 If you do not specify a general option, then you can specify output options\&. Output options determine the content and format of the \f3jstat\fR command\&'s output, and consist of a single \f3statOption\fR, plus any of the other output options (\f3-h\fR, \f3-t\fR, and \f3-J\fR)\&. The \f3statOption\fR must come first\&.
 130 .PP
 131 Output is formatted as a table, with columns that are separated by spaces\&. A header row with titles describes the columns\&. Use the \f3-h\fR option to set the frequency at which the header is displayed\&. Column header names are consistent among the different options\&. In general, if two options provide a column with the same name, then the data source for the two columns is the same\&.
 132 .PP
 133 Use the \f3-t\fR option to display a time stamp column, labeled Timestamp as the first column of output\&. The Timestamp column contains the elapsed time, in seconds, since the target JVM started\&. The resolution of the time stamp is dependent on various factors and is subject to variation due to delayed thread scheduling on heavily loaded systems\&.
 134 .PP
 135 Use the interval and count parameters to determine how frequently and how many times, respectively, the \f3jstat\fR command displays its output\&.
 136 .PP
 137 \fINote:\fR Do not to write scripts to parse the \f3jstat\fR command\&'s output because the format might change in future releases\&. If you write scripts that parse \f3jstat\fR command output, then expect to modify them for future releases of this tool\&.
 138 .TP
 139 -\fIstatOption\fR
 140 .br
 141 Determines the statistics information the \f3jstat\fR command displays\&. The following lists the available options\&. Use the \f3-options\fR general option to display the list of options for a particular platform installation\&. See Stat Options and Output\&.

 455 This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 7 samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by the -\f3gcutil\fR option\&.
 456 .PP
 457 The output of this example shows that a young generation collection occurred between the third and fourth sample\&. The collection took 0\&.078 seconds and promoted objects from the eden space (E) to the old space (O), resulting in an increase of old space utilization from 66\&.80% to 68\&.19%\&. Before the collection, the survivor space was 97\&.02% utilized, but after this collection it is 91\&.03% utilized\&.

 487 .SS REPEAT\ THE\ COLUMN\ HEADER\ STRING    
 488 This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes samples at 250 millisecond intervals and displays the output as specified by \f3-gcnew\fR option\&. In addition, it uses the \f3-h3\fR option to output the column header after every 3 lines of data\&.
 489 .PP
 490 In addition to showing the repeating header string, this example shows that between the second and third samples, a young GC occurred\&. Its duration was 0\&.001 seconds\&. The collection found enough active data that the survivor space 0 utilization (S0U) would have exceeded the desired survivor Size (DSS)\&. As a result, objects were promoted to the old generation (not visible in this output), and the tenuring threshold (TT) was lowered from 31 to 2\&.
 491 .PP
 492 Another collection occurs between the fifth and sixth samples\&. This collection found very few survivors and returned the tenuring threshold to 31\&.

 532 This example attaches to lvmid 21891 and takes 3 samples at 250 millisecond intervals\&. The \f3-t\fR option is used to generate a time stamp for each sample in the first column\&.
 533 .PP
 534 The Timestamp column reports the elapsed time in seconds since the start of the target JVM\&. In addition, the \f3-gcoldcapacity\fR output shows the old generation capacity (OGC) and the old space capacity (OC) increasing as the heap expands to meet allocation or promotion demands\&. The old generation capacity (OGC) has grown from 11,696 kB to 13,820 kB after the eighty-first full garbage collection (FGC)\&. The maximum capacity of the generation (and space) is 60,544 kB (OGCMX), so it still has room to expand\&.

 553 This example attaches to lvmid 40496 on the system named remote\&.domain using the \f3-gcutil\fR option, with samples taken every second indefinitely\&.
 554 .PP
 555 The lvmid is combined with the name of the remote host to construct a \fIvmid\fR of \f340496@remote\&.domain\fR\&. This vmid results in the use of the \f3rmi\fR protocol to communicate to the default \f3jstatd\fR server on the remote host\&. The \f3jstatd\fR server is located using the \f3rmiregistry\fR command on \f3remote\&.domain\fR that is bound to the default port of the \f3rmiregistry\fR command (port 1099)\&.
