Following are the Key features available in Stratos 2.0.

Key Features
  • Artifact Distribution Coordinator (ADC) with support for external Git and GitHub repositories.
  • Plug-able architecture support for adding new cartridges
  • Support for PHP, Tomcat and MySQL and WSO2 Carbon cartridges (AS, ESB, BPS etc.)
  • Support for puppet based cartridge creation for WSO2 Carbon cartridges
  • Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) with Cartridge support
  • Multiple IaaS support (EC2, Openstack, vCloud) through JClouds APIs
  • Policy based Auto-scaling
  • S2 Cloud Controller
  • Git based deployment synchronizer
  • Interactive CLI Tool for tenants to manage Cartridge subscriptions

Specifying a custom Event Settings file for Java Flight Recorder

Image
When you are using Java Flight Recorder (JFR), the JFR will use an event settings file to check which event types to record. By default in JFR, there are two settings, "default" and "profile". The default setting is recommended for Continuous Recordings as it has very low overhead (typically less than 1% overhead). The profile setting has more events and useful when profiling the application. As mentioned in my previous blog post regarding  Java Flight Recorder Continuous Recordings , we use following arguments to do a Continuous Recording. -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:+FlightRecorder -XX:FlightRecorderOptions=defaultrecording=true,disk=true,repository=./tmp,dumponexit=true,dumponexitpath=./ Note: According to the Oracle documentation on " java " command, we should be able to specify "settings" parameter to the -XX:FlightRecorderOptions. However, the settings parameter has no effect when used with the -XX:FlightRecorderOptions and

Flame Graphs with Java Flight Recordings

Flame Graphs Brendon D. Gregg , who is a computer performance analyst , has created  Flame Graphs to visualize stack traces in an interactive way. You must watch his talk at USENIX/LISA13 , titled Blazing Performance with Flame Graphs , which explains Flame Graphs in detail. There can be different types of flame graphs and I'm focusing on  CPU Flame Graphs  with Java in this blog post. Please look at the Flame Graphs Description  to understand the Flame Graph visualization. CPU Flame Graphs and Java Stack Traces As  Brendon  mentioned in his talk, understanding why CPUs are busy is very important when analyzing performance.  CPU Flame Graphs  is a good way to identify hot methods from sampled stack traces. In order to generate CPU Flame Graphs for Java Stack Traces , we need a way to get sample stack traces. Brendon has given examples to use jstack  and Google's lightweight-java-profiler . Please refer to his perl program on generating  CPU Flame G

Java CPU Flame Graphs

Update (September 14, 2015): Java 8 Update 60 was released on August 18, 2015. There are some recent changes to "perf-map-agent". There is no longer a script named "perf-java" and you should use "bin/create-java-perf-map.sh " Brendan Gregg shared an exciting news in his Monitorama talk: The " JDK-8068945 " is fixed in Java 8 Update 60 Build 19 ! Without this fix, it was not possible to see full stack in Java with Linux perf_events and standard JDK (without any patches). For more information, see Brendan's Java CPU Flame Graphs page. The Problem with Java and Perf First of all, let's see what's the problem with using current latest Java and perf. For this example, I used the same program explained in my previous blog post regarding FlameGraphs . java org.wso2.example.JavaThreadCPUUsage.App Then I sampled on-CPU functions for Java program using perf. (See Brendan's Perf Examples ) sudo perf record -F 99 -g -
