The jcmd Command

Name

jcmd - send diagnostic command requests to a running Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Synopsis

jcmd [pid | main-class] command... | PerfCounter.print | -f filename

jcmd [-l]

jcmd -h

pid

When used, the jcmd utility sends the diagnostic command request to the process ID for the Java process.

main-class

When used, the jcmd utility sends the diagnostic command request to all Java processes with the specified name of the main class.

command

The command must be a valid jcmd command for the selected JVM. The list of available commands for jcmd is obtained by running the help command (jcmd pid help) where pid is the process ID for the running Java process. If the pid is 0, commands will be sent to all Java processes. The main class argument will be used to match, either partially or fully, the class used to start Java. If no options are given, it lists the running Java process identifiers with the main class and command-line arguments that were used to launch the process (the same as using -l).

Perfcounter.print

Prints the performance counters exposed by the specified Java process.

-f filename

Reads and executes commands from a specified file, filename.

-l

Displays the list of Java Virtual Machine process identifiers that are not running in a separate docker process along with the main class and command-line arguments that were used to launch the process. If the JVM is in a docker process, you must use tools such as ps to look up the PID.

Note:

Using jcmd without arguments is the same as using jcmd -l.

-h

Displays the jcmd utility's command-line help.

Description

The jcmd utility is used to send diagnostic command requests to the JVM. It must be used on the same machine on which the JVM is running, and have the same effective user and group identifiers that were used to launch the JVM. Each diagnostic command has its own set of arguments. To display the description, syntax, and a list of available arguments for a diagnostic command, use the name of the command as the argument. For example:

jcmd pid help command

If arguments contain spaces, then you must surround them with single or double quotation marks (' or "). In addition, you must escape single or double quotation marks with a backslash (\) to prevent the operating system shell from processing quotation marks. Alternatively, you can surround these arguments with single quotation marks and then with double quotation marks (or with double quotation marks and then with single quotation marks).

If you specify the process identifier (pid) or the main class (main-class) as the first argument, then the jcmd utility sends the diagnostic command request to the Java process with the specified identifier or to all Java processes with the specified name of the main class. You can also send the diagnostic command request to all available Java processes by specifying 0 as the process identifier.

Commands for jcmd

The command must be a valid jcmd diagnostic command for the selected JVM. The list of available commands for jcmd is obtained by running the help command (jcmd pid help) where pid is the process ID for a running Java process. If the pid is 0, commands will be sent to all Java processes. The main class argument will be used to match, either partially or fully, the class used to start Java. If no options are given, it lists the running Java process identifiers that are not in separate docker processes along with the main class and command-line arguments that were used to launch the process (the same as using -l).

The following commands are available:

Turn on this flag only when you have an application that you suspect has a memory leak. (BOOLEAN, false)

JFR.start [options]

Start a flight recording

Impact: Low

Note:

The options must be specified using either key or key=value syntax. If no parameters are entered, then a recording is started with default values.

If set to 'true' and no value is given for filename, the recording is written to a file in the directory where the process was started. The file name is a system-generated name that contains the process ID, the recording ID and the current time stamp. (For example: id-1-2019_12_12_10_41.jfr) (BOOLEAN, false)
duration: (Optional) Length of time to record. Note that 0s means forever (INTEGER followed by 's' for seconds 'm' for minutes or 'h' for hours, 0s)
filename: (Optional) Name of the file to which the flight recording data is written when the recording is stopped. If no filename is given, a filename is generated from the PID and the current date and is placed in the directory where the process was started.

maxsize: (Optional) Maximum size of the data to keep on disk in bytes if one of the following suffixes is not used: 'm' or 'M' for megabytes OR 'g' or 'G' for gigabytes. This parameter is valid only when the disk parameter is set to 'true'. The value must not be less than the value for the maxchunksize parameter set with the JFR.configure command. (STRING, 0 (no maximum size))
name: (Optional) Name of the recording. If no name is provided, a name is generated. Make note of the generated name that is shown in the response to the command so that you can use it with other commands. (STRING, system-generated default name)
path-to-gc-root: (Optional) Flag for saving the path to garbage collection (GC) roots at the end of a recording. The path information is useful for finding memory leaks but collecting it is time consuming. Turn on this flag only when you have an application that you suspect has a memory leak. If the settings parameter is set to 'profile', then the information collected includes the stack trace from where the potential leaking object was allocated. (BOOLEAN, false)
settings: (Optional) Name of the settings file that identifies which events to record. To specify more than one file, separate the names with a comma (','). Include the path if the file is not in JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr. The following profiles are included with the JDK in the JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr directory: 'default.jfc': collects a predefined set of information with low overhead, so it has minimal impact on performance and can be used with recordings that run continuously; 'profile.jfc': Provides more data than the 'default.jfc' profile, but with more overhead and impact on performance. Use this configuration for short periods of time when more information is needed. Use none to start a recording without a predefined configuration file. (STRING, JAVA-HOME/lib/jfr/default.jfc)

Event settings and .jfc options can be specified using the following syntax:

option: (Optional) Specifies the option value to modify. To list available options, use the JAVA_HOME/bin/jfr tool.
event-setting: (Optional) Specifies the event setting value to modify. Use the form: <event-name>#<setting-name>=<value> To add a new event setting, prefix the event name with '+'.

You can specify values for multiple event settings and .jfc options by separating them with a whitespace. In case of a conflict between a parameter and a .jfc option, the parameter will take precedence. The whitespace delimiter can be omitted for timespan values, i.e. 20ms. For more information about the settings syntax, see Javadoc of the jdk.jfr package.
