How to confirm JVM Settings

pandes3 Aug 21, 2013 2:49 AM

Hi,

Needed some help here (Jboss AS 7.1, RHEL 6)

I have updated the java options in standalone.conf file

JAVA_OPTS="-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -XX:ThreadStackSize=128"

restarted the Jboss

Now need to confirm the settings have effecctively updated, I run the following command "java -XshowSettings:all" , below is the output

VM settings:

Stack Size: 1.00M

Max. Heap Size (Estimated): 1.71G

Ergonomics Machine Class: server

Using VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

The stack size still it is showin as 1 MB and heap size as 1.71 G.

why the settings have not been updated ? Am I looking at right place (java -XshowSettings:all) ?

Help will be most appreciated

Regards

Avinash

No, you are not.

java -XshowSettings:all will start a new process and output infomation about that process. You would need to add that to JAVA_OPTS to be helpful. It will print out settings when you server starts.

But I usually just look at what the process has been started with:

[rhusar@rhusar wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT]$ ps xafu | grep java
rhusar   17974  147  2.5 3181648 204168 pts/3  Sl+  10:05   0:07  |       \_ /usr/java/latest/bin/java -D[Standalone] -server -XX:+UseCompressedOops -Xms64m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djboss.modules.system.pkgs=org.jboss.byteman -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dorg.jboss.boot.log.file=/home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT/standalone/log/server.log -Dlogging.configuration=file:/home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT/standalone/configuration/logging.properties -jar /home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT/jboss-modules.jar -mp /home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT/modules org.jboss.as.standalone -Djboss.home.dir=/home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/rhusar/as/build/target/wildfly-8.0.0.Beta1-SNAPSHOT/standalone -c standalone-ha.xml

...and I see the options kicked in.

And if you are using Windows and running Vista or a later version, you can find the command line in Task Manager on the Processes/Details tab (though you have to add the Command Line column). But that column has a limited lneght so not all of the ocmmand line will show; in that case get Process Explorer from systinternals, it will show you the complete command line.

Also, another way to check the settings is to run JVisualVM and connect to the java process. JVisualVM will show you all of the settings.

Hi Radoslav,

Do you think the allocated JVM memory will be blocked Java process?
Because we have configured different JVM settings for different sites, to confirm this setting, we have verified the task manager it is reflecting in the Memory utilization column of the Java process.
But it is not reflection in few configurations, is it not required?
