Description
Class Summary | |
---|---|
ProfilerPlugin | This class defines a Directory Server startup plugin that will register itself as a configurable component that can allow for a simple sample-based profiling mechanism within the Directory Server. |
ProfilerThread | This class defines a thread that may be used to actually perform profiling in the Directory Server. |
ProfileStack | This class defines a data structure that may be used to hold information about a thread stack trace. |
ProfileStackFrame | This class defines a data structure for holding information about a stack frame captured by the Directory Server profiler. |
ProfileViewer | This class defines a Directory Server utility that may be used to view profile information that has been captured by the profiler plugin. |
Contains the implementation of the Directory Server plugin that acts as an
embedded profiler that can be used for performance analysis of the server
under load. This plugin uses repeated calls to the the
Thread.getAllStackTraces()
at regular intervals in order to
construct a picture of the particular method calls that seem to take a
significant percentage of the Directory Server processing time. This
information may be used to help identify potential targets for performance
improvement by highlighting which methods are most frequently called.
The profiler is implemented as a Directory Server startup plugin so that it
is made available for use at any point while the server is running. However,
enabling this plugin only causes it to register with the server as a
configurable component that will watch for modifications to the
ds-cfg-profileAction attribute. If this attribute is modified to have a
value of "start", then the profiler will begin capturing stack trace
information until it is modified again with a value of "stop", at which point
it will stop profiling and write the captured information to a binary file on
the server filesystem, or "cancel", at which point it will stop profiling and
discard any information that it had collected.
This package also contains a tool that can be used to view the information
in this binary stack trace capture file. The tool may operate in a simple
command-line mode as well as a more flexible and potentially more useful GUI
mode.
