1. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage i
jesper.pedersen Mar 3, 2009 9:06 AM (in response to alegomes)Thanks for the feedback.
Documentation is a known area that needs improving - see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPROFILER-59 - and since this is a community project any patches to this area is most welcomed.- "java -jar jboss-profiler-client.jar getSnapshot 1" And then, what? There is no Web GUI anymore? Now, it's all about TXT files?
The 2.x release series is different from the 1.x release series - as the 2.x uses 100% Java code for the profiling. There is an effort to integrate native code in the 2.x release series also - see https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPROFILER-60 - again, feel free to submit patches in this area.
As to the web GUI - there is an initial implementation in SVNant web
Again - patches welcome !
As you can tell - this is a community project, so any patches that will help making it better is most welcomed. -

alegomes Mar 3, 2009 3:11 PM (in response to alegomes)I'm totally agreed, Jesper. I'm gonna send you some patches as soon as I can.
By the moment, let's use this thread as a place for brainstorming.
One thing just came up in my mind is: we need to describe each file and its meaning.
Contribute, everybody.

jesper.pedersen Mar 3, 2009 3:22 PM (in response to alegomes)If you want to do it the correct way you can borrow the documentation solution from the JBoss Messaging project...
Just ping me about your patches... -

alegomes Mar 4, 2009 5:39 AM (in response to alegomes)I just found that in the JBoss Profiler line in [1]:
- Fisheye link is pointing to [2] and not [3].
- Documentation link is pointing to [4] and not [5].

6. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage i
alegomes Mar 4, 2009 7:07 AM (in response to alegomes)One idea more:
Include clear description of:
- Jobs
- Plugins: what are they used for?
- Components: how does it work? -

8. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage i
alegomes Mar 4, 2009 7:54 AM (in response to alegomes)To explain snapshots.
- where they are stored?
- what does the number parameter after 'client getSnapshot' and 'client save' mean?
- client snapshot == client getSnapshot ?
- what does 'client clearSnapshots' does?
- what does 'client load' does? -
9. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage i
jesper.pedersen Apr 19, 2009 11:21 AM (in response to alegomes)Ok, I have committed JBPROFILER-59 -- an user and a developer guide will now be included in the distribution as PDF files.
*NOW* it is time for the community to step up and improve the documentation with all their ideas !
Attach your patches to JIRAs and assign the issue to me for review.
Looking forward for your contributions !! -

marx3 Jun 3, 2009 9:12 AM (in response to alegomes)Why WAR application isn't included in downloadable version? It's not fair to show screenshots of web application and force people to configure SVN repository to download it...

11. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage i
jesper.pedersen Jun 3, 2009 9:25 AM (in response to alegomes)The screenshots are from the 1.0 branch - which has the WAR file included in the release.
We'll include the WAR file in distribution once it meet minimum requirements. -
12. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage instr
tharris Jan 6, 2010 4:31 PM (in response to alegomes)I followed the instructions in the PDF for the 2.0.0.Beta5 version, including the step to stick the jboss-profiler.sar into the server deploy folder. However, when I start up the JBoss server (v5.1.0GA) and attempt to browse to "http://localhost:8080/jboss-profiler/", I get a 404 error. What gives? How do I get the UI to come up? Did I misconfigure something? I followed the instructions to the letter.

jesper.pedersen Jan 6, 2010 4:39 PM (in response to tharris)The web-frontend for the 2.0 series isn't included yet in the distribution as it is still under development.
You can use the command line client to control and retrieve the results.

14. Re: Thoughts on jboss-profiler-2.0.Beta3.SP1 install/usage instr
tharris Jan 6, 2010 4:43 PM (in response to jesper.pedersen)Thanks, I should have read the end of the thread a little closer, as I see now you guys were talking about a WAR file not being included. (I thought the jboss-profiler.sar file WAS the GUI. Not sure what it could be if not a GUI.)
Once I ran the command line tool, I realized it was dumping reports into the working folder. Now, I see lots of timing stats, but very little info with regards to memory. We are getting lots of OutOfMemoryErrors in production, and I was tasked with finding the root cause ASAP. My jboss-profiler.properties file in the jboss/bin folder has the setting "memory=yes", so I assumed that would mean it would collected memory allocation counts, etc.
How do I collect and view that kind of memory allocation information, like in YourKit or OptimizeIt?
