Using Java Tools With Directory Proxy Server 6.1

As Directory Proxy Server 6.1 is pure Java, you can use the Java tools that are delivered with the JDK 1.5 to help troubleshoot problems. These tools include the following:

• jstack. This tool provides information about the Directory Proxy Server thread stack.

• jmap. This tool provides information about memory. For example, running jmap —histo PID prints a histogram of the heap.

• jinfo. This tool provides you with information about the JVM environment.

• jstat. This tool displays performance statistics for a JVM.

On Solaris, you can find these tools in the following location:

/usr/lang/JAVA/jdk1.5.0_03/solaris-sparc/bin

The JVM also includes a graphical tool for monitoring the Java virtual machine called the Java Monitoring and Management Console (JConsole) tool. This tool uses the Java virtual machine to provide information on performance and resource consumption of applications running on the Java platform using Java Management Extension (JMX) technology. JConsole can be used to observe information about an application running on the Java platform. The JConsole provides information and charts about memory use, thread use, class loading, and JVM parameters
