introduce

Arthas is an open source Java diagnostic tool of Alibaba, which is deeply loved by developers.

When you encounter the following similar problems and are helpless, Arthas can help you solve them:

  1. Which jar package is this class loaded from? Why are all kinds of related exceptions reported?
  2. Why didn't the code I changed execute? Am I not commit ted? Wrong branch?
  3. You can't debug online when you encounter a problem. Can you only republish it by adding a log?
  4. There is a problem with the data processing of a user online, but it is also impossible to debug online and reproduce offline!
  5. Is there a global perspective to view the health of the system?
  6. Is there any way to monitor the real-time running status of the JVM?
  7. How to quickly locate application hotspots and generate flame diagrams?
  8. How do I find an instance of a class directly from within the JVM?

Arthas supports JDK 6 +, Linux/Mac/Windows, adopts command-line interaction mode, and provides rich Tab automatic completion functions to further facilitate problem location and diagnosis.

Note: it is not applicable to microservices, but only to single service code troubleshooting,

For example, two services A and B, Arthas, are installed on service A, so A requests B. using Arthas can only track all links of code A, but the links of service B cannot

If you don't have time and trouble, you can install Arthas in both service providers at the same time. This can also be achieved, but the effect is not as good as microservice link tracking

You can search on the Internet, microservice link tracking tutorial

express setup

Create directory mkdir /usr/src/jvm

Enter the directory cd /usr/src/jvm

Note that curl - O cannot be used directly https://arthas.aliyun.com/math-game.jar

We need to go to github and download it manually
https://github.com/alibaba/arthas/releases

If it's too slow, I have an online version of arthas-3.5.3

Link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/19sx20oNxqA_322t3ySt-yA
Extraction code: 1234

Unzip the command Yum - y install unzip unzip - O Arthas bin.zip

Create directory mkdir /usr/src/java

Enter the directory cd /usr/src/java

Here we provide a program that can be executed all the time (random number) to facilitate learning arthas

Link: https://pan.baidu.com/s/1Z50cPpNgzJEMtFvD11c_rA
Extraction code: 1234

Start program

Use FinalSell or XShell

Open a window cd /usr/src/java

Start the applet java -jar math-game.jar provided by us

The effects are as follows:

Then open a window cd /usr/src/jvm

Start our performance monitor java -jar arthas-boot.jar

You can also start Java - jar arthas-boot.jar in the background&

If there is a problem, you can check the Arthas boot log under cd ~/logs/arthas /

The starting effect is as follows:

This startup method is to automatically query all programs on the current server, and then manually select the id for monitoring. According to the above, we can directly enter 1

Manually select the specified program for monitoring, and the effect is as follows:

This page is the console for operating math Gome. You can monitor various commands

Note: arthas can open multiple clients in linux to monitor different java commands. The above startup method is still used

The first area mainly displays the operation of cpu. Through this area, we can observe the threads that occupy cpu, such as deadlock and dead loop

The main view is HTTP NiO XXX exec XX. Generally, the user thread accesses our system

thread

From the above figure, we can see that there is something wrong with the main thread, so we use the thread command to view the jvm stack information of the thread

Syntax: thread id

[arthas@126997]$ thread 1
"main" Id=1 TIMED_WAITING
    at java.lang.Thread.sleep(Native Method)
    at java.lang.Thread.sleep(Thread.java:340)
    at java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.sleep(TimeUnit.java:386)
    at demo.MathGame.main(MathGame.java:17)

After reading the above code, we can find that Thread.sleep is mainly called internally, and the specific code location causing the delay is also displayed

at demo.MathGame.main(MathGame.java:17)

thread -n 3 view the current top n busiest threads and print the stack

JVM internal information

[arthas@126997]$ jvm 

Main concerns:

THREAD related

  • Count: the number of threads currently active in the JVM
  • Daemon-count: the number of daemon threads currently active in the JVM
  • PEAK-COUNT: the maximum number of threads that have been alive since the JVM was started
  • STARTED-COUNT: the total number of threads started since the JVM was started
  • Deadlock-count: number of threads currently deadlocked by the JVM (key)

File descriptor related

  • MAX-FILE-DESCRIPTOR-COUNT: the maximum number of file descriptors that a JVM process can open
  • OPEN-FILE-DESCRIPTOR-COUNT: the number of file descriptors currently open by the JVM

getstatic

View member variables

Syntax: getstatic classpath variable name

getstatic demo.MathGame random

For example, suppose n is a Map and the key of the Map is Enum. If we want to query the value of the key corresponding to the Map, we can write the following command

$ getstatic com.alibaba.arthas.Test n 'entrySet().iterator.{? #this.key.name()=="STOP"}'
field: n
@ArrayList[
    @Node[STOP=bbb],
]
Affect(row-cnt:1) cost in 68 ms.

If the key is not an object, then

$ getstatic com.alibaba.arthas.Test m 'entrySet().iterator.{? #this.key=="a"}'
field: m
@ArrayList[
    @Node[a=aaa],
]

Gets the static field of the static class

Syntax: ognl '@ classpath @ static variable'

ognl '@demo.MathGame@random'

jad

Decompile class

The jad command decompiles the byte code of the class actually running in the JVM into java code to facilitate you to understand the business logic;

  • On the Arthas Console, the decompiled source code is highlighted with syntax, which is more convenient to read
  • Of course, the decompiled java code may have syntax errors, but it will not affect your reading and understanding
jad  demo.MathGame

By default, the decompilation result will contain ClassLoader information. Only the source code can be printed through the -- source only option.

 jad --source-only  demo.MathGame

Decompile the specified function (method)

jad --source-only demo.MathGame main

Specify ClassLoader when decompiling

When multiple classloaders load this class, the jad command will output the hashcode corresponding to the ClassLoader instance. Then you just need to re execute the jad command and use the parameter - C < hashcode > to decompile the class loaded by the specified ClassLoader

$ jad org.apache.log4j.Logger

watch

Method to perform data observation, so that you can easily observe the call of the specified method. The observable range is: return value, throw exception and enter parameter

Special note:

  • The watch command defines four observation event points, that is, before the call of the - b method, - after the exception of the - e method, - after the return of the - s method, and after the end of the - f method
  • The four observation event points - b, - e, - s are closed by default and - f are open by default. When the specified observation point is opened, the observation expression will be evaluated and output at the corresponding event point
  • Attention should be paid to the difference between method input and method output. It may be modified in the middle, resulting in inconsistency. Except that -b event point params represents method input, other events represent method output
  • When - b is used, the return value or exception does not exist because the observation event point is before the method call
  • -x indicates that the deeper the observation method is, the more observations are made

Observe method output and return value

 watch com.test.web.TestController test "{params,returnObj}" -x 2

Methods of observation

watch  com.test.web.TestController test "{params,returnObj}" -x 2 -b
  • The event point is before the method is executed, so the return value cannot be obtained

Observe both before method call and after method return

watch   com.test.web.TestController test  "{params,target,returnObj}" -x 2 -b -s -n 2
  • In the parameter - n 2, it means that it is only executed twice
  • Among the output results here, the first output is the result of the observation expression before the method call, and the second output is the result of the expression returned by the method
  • The output order of the results is consistent with the sequence of events, independent of the order of - s -b in the command

Adjust the value of - x and observe the specific method parameter value

watch  com.test.web.TestController test  "{params,target}" -x 3
  • -x indicates the traversal depth, which can be adjusted to print specific parameters and results. The default value is 1.

Examples of conditional expressions

watch demo.MathGame primeFactors "{params[0],target}" "params[0]<0"
  • Only calls that meet the conditions will have a response.

Examples of observing abnormal information

watch demo.MathGame primeFactors "{params[0],throwExp}" -e -x 2
  • -e means it is triggered when an exception is thrown
  • In express, the variable representing exception information is throwExp

Filter by time

watch com.test.web.TestController test  '{params, returnObj}' '#cost>200' -x 2
  • #Cost > 200 (unit: ms) means that it will be output only when the time is greater than 200ms, and calls with execution time less than 200ms will be filtered out

Observe the attributes in the current object

If you want to view the properties in the current object before and after the method runs, you can use the target keyword to represent the current object, and then. Specific properties

watch demo.MathGame primeFactors 'target.illegalArgumentCount'

trace

Method calls the path internally and outputs the time-consuming data on each node on the method path

trace  com.test.web.TestController test

If the method is called many times and I only want to see it once, I can use the - n parameter to specify the number of times to capture the result

Column: exit the command after capturing one call.

trace  com.test.web.TestController test -n 1

By default, trace does not include function calls in the jdk. If you want to use the functions in trace jdk, you need to explicitly set -- skipJDKMethod false.

Columns:

trace  --skipJDKMethod false  com.test.web.TestController test -n 1

Filter according to call time

Column: only call paths that take more than 100ms will be displayed, which helps to focus only on exceptions when troubleshooting problems

trace  --skipJDKMethod false  com.test.web.TestController test -n 1  '#cost > 100'

Command execution times exceed limit: 1, so command will exit. You can set it with -n option.

You can see directly where the specific problem is - [10001.261073ms] java.lang.Thread:sleep() #32`

There is a problem of inaccurate statistics, that is, the total time of all methods may be less than the total time of the monitoring method. This is because the logic of Arthas will take some time

trace multiple classes or functions

The regular table can be used to match the functions of multiple classes on the path to achieve the effect of multi-layer trace to a certain extent

Syntax: trace -E com.test.ClassA|org.test.ClassB method1|method2|method3

        `---[0.123934ms] demo.MathGame:primeFactors() #24 [throws Exception]

Now, if you want to go deep into the sub function primeFactors, you can open a new terminal 2 and specify listenerId when tracing primeFactors.

trace  --skipJDKMethod false demo.MathGame primeFactors --listenerId 1    '#cost > 1'
Press Q or Ctrl+C to abort.

At this time, the result printed by terminal 2 indicates that a function: effect (class count: 1, method count: 1) has been enhanced, but no more results will be printed.

Then, when you return to window 1, you will find that the situation inside the primeFactors sub method is printed

Note that window 2 cannot end, otherwise the sub method content monitoring in window 1 will not be displayed

stack

Output the call path where the current method is called

Many times we know that a method is executed, but there are many execution paths for this method, or you don't know where the method is executed. At this time, you need the stack command.

Columns:

[arthas@46551]$ stack demo.MathGame run

  • Command parameter parsing

    • -t

      The tt command has many main arguments, - t is one of them. This parameter indicates that you want to record each execution of the primeFactors method of class * MathGame.

    • -n 3

      When you execute a method with low call volume, you may still have enough time to interrupt the process recorded by tt command with CTRL+C, but if you encounter a method with very large call volume, your JVM memory can burst in an instant.

      At this time, you can specify the number of times you need to record through the - n parameter. When the number of times you need to record is reached, Arthas will actively interrupt the recording process of tt command to avoid the situation that manual operation cannot be stopped.

  • Table field description

Table fieldsField interpretation
INDEXTime segment record number. Each number represents a call. Many subsequent tt commands specify record operations based on this number, which is very important.
TIMESTAMPMethod, which records the local time of this time segment
COST(ms)Time consuming method execution
IS-RETWhether the method ends as a normal return
IS-EXPWhether the method ends with an exception thrown
OBJECTExecute the hashCode() of the object. Note that someone once mistakenly thought it was the memory address of the object in the JVM, but unfortunately it was not. But it can help you simply mark the class entity of the current execution method
CLASSClass name of execution
METHODThe name of the method to execute
  • Conditional expression

    I wonder if you have encountered the following confusion in the process of use

    • It seems difficult for Arthas to distinguish overloaded methods
    • I only need to observe specific parameters, but tt records them all for me

    Conditional expressions are also written in OGNL, and the core judgment object is still the Advice object. In addition to the tt command, the watch, trace, and stack commands also support conditional expressions.

  • Solution overload

    tt -t demo.MathGame primeFactors params.length==1

    You can solve different method signatures by specifying the number of parameters. If the number of parameters is the same, you can also write this

    tt -t demo.MathGame primeFactors 'params[1] instanceof Integer'

Retrieve call records

When you record a large time segment with tt, you want to filter out the time segment you need. At this time, you need to retrieve the existing records.

Suppose we have these records

$ tt -l

Redo call

After you make some adjustments, you may need the front-end system to trigger your call again. At this time, you have to ask grandpa and grandma to launch a call again. In some scenarios, this call is not so easy to trigger.

tt command saves all the field information called at that time, so we can initiate a call on a time slice with INDEX number on our own initiative, so as to liberate your communication cost. At this point, you need the - p parameter. Specify the number of calls through -- replay times and the interval of multiple calls through -- replay interval (unit: ms, default: 1000ms)

Online dynamic hot compilation

This is different from the online tutorial. The online tutorial uses jad + mc + retransform for online hot update,

But I found that many times when using mc, the compilation process always failed, and then I summarized a set of solutions myself

  1. Using IDEA... Software can compile the project into. class files

Then copy the code to linux CD / usr / SRC / Java / Arthas output

  1. Use retransform to replace the code in the JVM

    [arthas@14001]$ retransform  /usr/src/java/arthas-output/TestController.class
    retransform success, size: 1, classes:
    

retransform restrictions

  • New addition of field (member variable) / method (method in class) is not allowed
  • The running function cannot take effect without exiting. For example, the newly added System.out.println below, only those in the run() function will take effect
public class MathGame {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        MathGame game = new MathGame();
        while (true) {
            game.run();
            TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(1);
            // This does not work because the code is always running in while
            System.out.println("in loop");
        }
    }
 
    public void run() throws InterruptedException {
        // This works because the run() function can end completely every time
        System.out.println("call run()");
        try {
            int number = random.nextInt();
            List<Integer> primeFactors = primeFactors(number);
            print(number, primeFactors);
 
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(String.format("illegalArgumentCount:%3d, ", illegalArgumentCount) + e.getMessage());
        }
    }

Note: retransform modifies the memory, not the source code. It will be restored after the system is restarted, so it can only be used for testing or temporary coping

If you want to act directly on the jar source code and jvm, you can use redefine instead
