Thermostat

Thermostat: Serviceability and Monitoring for OpenJDK

Thermostat is an instrumentation tool for the Hotspot JVM, with support for monitoring multiple JVM instances on multiple hosts, optionally in a cloud environment. The name Thermostat is intended as a play on words: Thermostat is to Hotspot much as IcedTea is to Java.

Some goals of Thermostat are:

We want a tool that allows users of IcedTea/OpenJDK to monitor running JVMs, especially remote JVMs.
Both high level (uptime, cpu and memory usage) and low level (including hotspot's perf data) information should be available through the tool.
The tool should be usable in a production environment, with minimal overhead.

Features

Local and remote monitoring (threads, numa, heap-analysis, garbage collection, etc.)
Stand-alone Swing GUI client
Web layer for increased security
Command line interface client

Basic System Requirements

OpenJDK >= 1.7
Mongodb >= 2.2 (or 2.0 if no SSL required)
Servlet container (optional)

Note: As of now, the latest stable version is Thermostat 1.0.4. Please send us email if you have any trouble installing/using Thermostat---we'd be happy to help you out.
